Documentation on the Gradle Task is outdated/incomplete

[manticore-projects]

Greetings.

Thank you for providing this project, I have an high interest in it.
Although I have had a hard time to even follow the most basic Getting Started instructions. The information seems to be outdated. Below is the Gradle 7.4 configuration, which seems to work:

plugins {
    id 'java'

    // Web Assembly Compiler
    id "de.inetsoftware.jwebassembly" version "0.4"
}

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
    maven { url = uri('https://jitpack.io') }
}

dependencies {
    // Web Assembly Compiler
    implementation 'com.github.i-net-software:JWebAssembly:v0.4'
    implementation 'com.github.i-net-software:jwebassembly-api:master-SNAPSHOT'
}

Putting this into build gradle I have been able to import the Export annotation and to annotate my Java Method.

import de.inetsoftware.jwebassembly.api.annotation.Export;

  @Export
  public static String format(String sqlStr, String... options) throws Exception {
  ...
  }

Also, you mention Java-8 as a requirement. However, this seems to be misleading as it yields into a java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError:

are@archlinux ~/d/s/J/JSQLFormatter (main) [1]> JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk gradle --no-build-cache wasm

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:

This is strange. I will check this out. Shouldn't be. Must have been an error when deploying the Gradle plugin.

buildscript {
repositories {
maven { url uri('https://jitpack.io') }
maven { url 'https://repo.spongepowered.org/maven' }
}
dependencies {
classpath 'com.github.i-net-software:jwebassembly-gradle:master-SNAPSHOT'
}
}

apply plugin: 'de.inetsoftware.jwebassembly'

group 'org.pepperoni'
version '1.0'

repositories {
maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
maven { url 'https://repo.spongepowered.org/maven' }
mavenCentral()
}
dependencies {
// https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/de.inetsoftware/jwebassembly-api
implementation 'com.github.i-net-software:jwebassembly-api:master-SNAPSHOT'
// https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/com.google.code.findbugs/jsr305
implementation group: 'com.google.code.findbugs', name: 'jsr305', version: '3.0.2'

}

sourceSets {
main.java.srcDirs += 'src/main/java'

}

wasm {
//Get more debug information if there are problems.
//logging.level = LogLevel.DEBUG
//logging.levelInternal = LogLevel.DEBUG

//Change the output format to the text format *.wat.
//This can be helpful to understand the problems if you see the generated code as text format.
//format = 'text'

//The used JWebAssembly compiler version. The default is the latest release '+'.
//You can set any valid Gradle version string or a full dependency string.
//The snapshot version is recommended until a stable release.
//compilerVersion = 0.2
compilerVersion = 'com.github.i-net-software:jwebassembly:master-SNAPSHOT'

//Write method and parameter names into the output *.wasm file.
//The file will be approximate 10% larger. And it generate a source map.
//With a source map you can see in the debugger of the browser your source code if available.
debugNames = true

//Set an absolute or relative path between the final wasm file location and the source files location.
///This is needed for debugging in the browser. It work only if debugNames = true.
//sourceMapBase = '../../src/main/java/'
//sourceMapBase = '/src/main/java/'

//set the destination dir
//destinationDir = file( 'targetDir' )

}

Working build.gradle, java 8, also so this

@Eskerepvp you have a typo on the "this" link above. (it has an extra 'l' at the end).

The corrected link is:
https://github.com/Eskerepvp/JWebAssembly-HelloWorld

Thanks for sharing that I was actually looking for it, I guess it was a good Idea for me to start tinkering with JWebAssembly today since I have been postponing that for a while now, and you just provided that yesterday hahaha.

I was noticing that apparently the project is lacking maintainers, based on the Question you opened. Would you mind sharing any info you have found to get started? I would also like contributing to this.

Greetings

1 : Oops also thats outdated...

2: I haven't actually looked at the source code of JWebAssembly itself, only the API. But I have found some issues, the biggest one being that Kotlin doesn't work :(

I made a web framework for JWebAssembly-API if you would like to check it out!

Contributing would be nice, fixing my spaghetti code, and adding some of the features in the todo list would be greatly appreciated.
