Question: Configuring the plugin from init script

[jgracindexcom]

Hi!

Sorry if this is not the right place to ask questions but I couldn't find a better one.

I wanted to centralize the Axion configuration and have my Jenkins add Axion configuration so that I don't have to maintain the configuration of the plugin in every one of my projects. I used the following content as the initscript which I pass with gradle -I<initscript> release && gradle -I<initscript> publish (I use maven-publish):

initscript {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
        maven { url "https://plugins.gradle.org/m2/" }
    }

    dependencies {
        classpath group: 'pl.allegro.tech.build', name: 'axion-release-plugin', version: '1.13.5'
    }
}
allprojects {
    apply plugin: pl.allegro.tech.build.axion.release.ReleasePlugin
    scmVersion {
        tag {
            prefix = 'v'
        }
    }
    project.version = scmVersion.version
}

However, this does not work with maven-publish plugin if the build.gradle file contains explicit version (e.g. version '1.0.0-SNAPSHOT'). I suppose this is because the initscript gets executed before the version line in build.gradle which overrides it.

Is there any way to do this, i.e. have a separate axion.gradle file that I can use in addition to the standard build.gradle from Jenkins?

Thanks!
