How to convert a gradle repository into a maven repository

gradle2maven.sh

#!/bin/bash
# 
# Usage:
# 
# bash gradle2maven.sh
#   Will be used as default directories
#     your default gradle reprository: $HOME/.gradle/caches/modules-2/files-2.1/
#     in your current path, a new maven directory: $PWD/maven-XXXXX`/repository
# 
# bash gradle2maven.sh <gradle-files2.1-path>
#   It will use your prefered gradle files2.1 path and your current path
# 
# bash gradle2maven.sh <gradle-files2.1-path> <your-prefered-output-path>
#   It will use your prefered gradle files2.1 and output paths

Gradle To Maven Description

Usage

• bash gradle2maven.sh
  Will be used as default directories

  • your default gradle reprository: $HOME/.gradle/caches/modules-2/files-2.1/
  • in your current path, a new maven directory: $PWD/maven-XXXXX`/repository

• bash gradle2maven.sh {gradle-files2.1-path}
  It will use your prefered gradle files2.1 path and your current path

• bash gradle2maven.sh {gradle-files2.1-path} {your-prefered-output-path}
  It will use your prefered gradle files2.1 and output paths

Description

This script is for creating a maven repository from your gradle repository. It will allow you to reuse your downloaded files on your own device and on other devices, because a Gradle repository is not portable to another host.

Example output

Having these gradle dependencies downloaded:
files-2.1/androidx.databinding/databinding-common/3.3.1/2e932d3219ea5f6d1078b24a8a3ce24b209c9309/databinding-common-3.3.1.pom
files-2.1/androidx.databinding/databinding-common/3.2.1/91c10c7ce255ab29ec4aea8a469d6c8ffa60bd53/databinding-common-3.2.1.jar

You will get:
maven-xxxxx/repository/androidx/databinding/databinding-common/3.2.1/databinding-common-3.2.1.pom
maven-xxxxx/repository/androidx/databinding/databinding-common/3.3.1/databinding-common-3.3.1.pom

You should create a directory $HOME/.m2/ and add your repository directory inside it, like so:
$HOME/.m2/repository

Now, in your Android project (for example), you can add to your build.gradle file:
mavenCentral()
as your first build repository. And gradle will look for the dependencies first on your computer, then on the internet

Notes

• If you have problems with gradle dependencies, you can save your downloaded gradle dependencies with this script and safely delete your gradle directory and save many megabytes and download time.

• If you want to start any android (flutter,react native, et) project in a new computer, you can convert your old gradle repository and reuse it in the new device, saving time.

Very useful tool.
I have personally used it to fix some problems in React Native projects.
I am very happy that you have finally published.
