Pommer is an internal Python tool designed to streamline CI workflow generation for Java/Kotlin projects using Gradle. It scans your project for build files, analyzes project metadata, and generates a Gitea CI workflow along with a local build script for convenience.
🛠️ Now supports Gradle! The Maven-compatible version is maintained on a separate Git branch.
⚠️ Internal Use Only
This tool is for internal use within Gitea only. Do not distribute or share externally.
Features
- 🔍 Automatic discovery of Gradle (
build.gradle/build.gradle.kts) and Maven (pom.xml) projects. - 📦 Parses project metadata (artifact ID, group ID, version, Java/Kotlin usage, etc.).
- 🏗️ Generates a Gitea CI workflow, compatible with multi-module projects.
- 🧪 Creates a
build.shscript for local testing and development. - 🎯 Configurable: Target a specific directory or file to process.
Usage
No installation required. Just run with Python 3:
python3 pommer.py
Options
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
-d, --dir |
Base directory to scan (default: .) |
-p, --specific-pom |
(For Maven only) Path to a specific pom.xml file |
Gradle projects are detected automatically by presence of build.gradle/kts. |
Examples
-
Scan a specific directory:
python3 pommer.py --dir path/to/project -
Use a specific Maven POM file (legacy mode):
python3 pommer.py --specific-pom path/to/pom.xml
Output
-
📄 Gitea Workflow:
.gitea/workflows/build.yamlAutomates build and artifact upload for all detected Gradle (and Maven, if applicable) projects. -
🔧 Build Script:
build.shSimple, local script to build all projects using Gradle or Maven, as detected.
⚡ CI/CD Compile Time Notice
⚠️ Slow compile or stuck builds?
- Installing JDK and setting up the runner can take a while.
- If it seems stuck on "Downloading JDK 21", be patient and monitor server network usage.
- No network activity for several minutes? → Try restarting the runner.
- The final steps ("finishing up") are slow, but usually not broken.
- Local builds slow? → It’ll be even slower on CI/CD.
Requirements
- Python 3.7+
- No third-party dependencies (standard library only)
Notes
- Gradle is now the primary build system supported.
- Maven support is preserved in the legacy branch.
- Java/Kotlin support is detected automatically across modules.
- The workflow always uses the highest JDK version found in the project tree.
