This change removes the automatic application of the java plugin from the Decycle Gradle plugin, making it compatible with Android projects while maintaining full backwards compatibility for Java projects.

Problem

The Decycle plugin automatically applied the java plugin, which conflicts with Android plugins that provide their own source set management. This prevented Android developers from using Decycle for cycle detection in their projects.

Solution

  • Removed automatic plugin application: No longer applies project.apply plugin: 'java' automatically
  • Added validation: Provides clear error message when no compatible plugin (java, java-library, Android, etc.) is applied
  • Updated all demo files: Explicitly apply java plugin in test configurations
  • Maintained backwards compatibility: Existing Java projects continue to work unchanged (they typically already apply the java plugin explicitly)

Changes Made

  1. Removed project.apply plugin: 'java' from DecyclePlugin.groovy
  2. Added validation in afterEvaluate block to check for sourceSets property
  3. Updated all demo *.gradle and *.gradle.kts files to explicitly apply java plugin
  4. Updated unit tests to explicitly apply java plugin before decycle plugin
  5. Added functional test to verify proper error handling when no compatible plugin is applied

Testing

  • ✅ All existing tests pass
  • ✅ New test verifies proper error message when no compatible plugin applied
  • ✅ Java projects continue to work with explicit java plugin application
  • ✅ Plugin now compatible with Android project structure

Usage

Before (Java projects only):

plugins {
    id 'de.obqo.decycle'  // Automatically applied java plugin
}

After (Java and Android projects):

plugins {
    id 'java'  // or 'com.android.application'
    id 'de.obqo.decycle'
}

This is a minimal, surgical change that solves the Android compatibility issue without breaking existing functionality.

Fixes #49.
