Installation

Requirements

• Java 17 or newer
• Maven 3.9+ or Gradle 8+
• Temporal Java SDK (any reasonably recent version — detection is source-based and has no compile-time dependency on the SDK itself)

Maven

WoGu is published on Maven Central under io.github.vikas0686. Add the plugin to your pom.xml:

<plugin>
  <groupId>io.github.vikas0686</groupId>
  <artifactId>wogu-maven-plugin</artifactId>
  <version>0.1.0</version>
  <executions>
    <execution>
      <goals>
        <goal>validate</goal>
      </goals>
    </execution>
  </executions>
</plugin>

That's it — mvn verify now runs WoGu automatically, bound to the verify phase by default. No extra repository configuration is needed; it resolves straight from Maven Central.

Gradle

plugins {
  id("io.github.vikas0686.wogu") version "0.1.0"
}

Applying the plugin registers the woguValidate task and, once the java plugin is present, wires it into build.

The Gradle plugin isn't published to the Gradle Plugin Portal yet. In the meantime, build and install it from source into your local Maven repository:

git clone https://github.com/vikas0686/wogu.git
cd wogu
mvn clean install
cd wogu-gradle-plugin
./gradlew publishToMavenLocal

Then add mavenLocal() to your project's plugin repositories so Gradle can resolve it. The Maven plugin above is fully published and needs no local setup.

Verify the installation

Run your build once to confirm WoGu is wired in:

mvn verify

or

gradle build

If your project has no rule violations, the build succeeds and a report is written to target/wogu/index.html (Maven) or build/reports/wogu/index.html (Gradle). Continue to Quick Start to see WoGu catch a real violation.
