weave-dependencies

This plugin is for weaving binary aspects into binary dependencies, then adding the woven dependencies into your runtime classpath. Usually, such dependencies are woven at load time. However, this incurs some start up cost, which can be avoided by weaving at compile time.

You can add this plugin to your project by adding it to your plugins block:

plugins {
    id "services.bst.weave-dependencies" version "0.1.2"
}

The default configuration is:

weaveDependencies {
    aspectJVersion = "1.9.2"
    classesToExclude = []
    ajcXlint = "ignore"
}

This plugin defines two configurations: aspects and weave. Packages that aspects depend on will be woven into the intransitive dependencies of weave. Additionally, the dependencies of both aspects and weave are added to compile.

For example, to weave Kamon's instrumentation into Akka, you would add these dependencies:

dependencies {
    aspects group: 'io.kamon', name: 'kamon-core_2.12', version: '1.1.2'
    aspects group: 'io.kamon', name: 'kamon-akka-2.5_2.12', version: '1.1.2'
    weave group: 'com.typesafe.akka', name: 'akka-actor_2.12', version: '2.5.20'
}
