Failed to apply plugin 'no.nils.wsdl2java'. Configuration with name 'compile' not found

Question

when migrating to gradle 7.x getting below error

* What went wrong:
An exception occurred applying plugin request [id: 'no.nils.wsdl2java', version: '0.12']
> Failed to apply plugin 'no.nils.wsdl2java'.
   > Configuration with name 'compile' not found.

Below is wsdl2java added in build.gradle

plugins {
    id("no.nils.wsdl2java") version "0.12"
    `java-library`
}

buildscript {
    dependencies {
        classpath("no.nils:wsdl2java:0.12")
    }
}

how to fix this?

Answer 1

no.nils.wsdl2java is not compatible with Gradle 7 and is no longer maintained. See the README in the project. The compile configuration has long been deprecated and was finally removed in Gradle 7.

You can use io.mateo.cxf-codegen in place of no.nils.wsdl2java. It is a Gradle port of the Maven CXF codegen plugin.

plugins {
    id "io.mateo.cxf-codegen" version "1.0.1"
}
