Package for Java

[matusfaro]

I am evaluating to either package this project for Java or create a separate simplistic Java CDK Construct for OpenNext.

As I am unfamiliar with JSII, do you know how much more effort is needed in this project to be packaged for Java using JSII?

Thanks in advance!

@matusfaro, great idea! I don't have any experience publishing to maven, but it looks like it's relatively simple with projen. See here.

Could you test out deploying it to maven and then if there are no hiccups we can publish it officially within this repo?

[matusfaro]

@bestickley It was surprisingly easy to compile and package a JAR file, so the two outstanding issues are to test that it actually works and publishing to Maven Central.

Within a week or so I should confirm whether I can successfully deploy a NextJS site, I will post back when I do.

As for Maven Central publishing, this is something you would have to do on your own (I can guide you). Alternatively, I could publish it to Maven Central if you don't have the time, but it would be under my own group id, not com.jetbridge.

I posted the high-level steps in #121 first would be to send a request to Sonatype to get permission to publish a package under com.jetbridge which takes a few days. Also to confirm, I assume you are able to add a DNS entry for jetbridge.com for verification purposes on Sonatype?

[bestickley]

@revmischa, are you able to do the above? I don't want to speak out of turn for JetBridge.

[revmischa]

I would just use your own identifier instead of com.jetbridge

[matusfaro]

@revmischa @bestickley Which option do you prefer?

1. Bestickley could create his own identifier under his domain and publish it from this repo
2. I can use my existing identifier io.dataspray, fork this repository and publish from there (No additional work for you)

Edit: Forked it and made availble for Java, Go, Python, .NET

[bestickley]

@matusfaro, I'd say we go with 2. for now. This is a 2-way door decision. We can create an "official" com.jetbridge later if desired.

[revmischa]

2 sounds chill to me

[bestickley]

@matusfaro, I see you've made good progress on open-next-cdk. But I think it would be smart to consolidate efforts. Is there any way you could incorporate your changes upstream?
If the only reason for creating the new package is for you to be able to publish packages to other registries, could we make you a maintainer of this project so you can do the same here?
What do you think?

did the above happen? also interested in using these constructs outside of js, specifically looking for a python release (happy to assist if additional effort is needed).

[bestickley]

@jaismith, the above did not happen. However, I will create a package in PyPI for you. I'm targeting to get it done within the week.

Fantastic, appreciate it. Agreed re: your naming related issue, these are deployment constructs and the "standalone" option may not be relevant to future nextjs releases this supports.

[bestickley]

@jaismith, you're welcome! That's a great reason to ditch standalone. Do you mind commenting that on discussion?

Hello, i happened to run into this Repo today and was amazed by the results and the effort that has went into the NextJs Construct.

One thing that I would like to see is a pip package of cdk-nextjs.

I've tried packaging it using projen for PyPi which worked without any issue, I now locally have my own gzip which I was able to use in my python CDK Application without any issues.

Seeing as I've already made the needed changes locally, can I submit a PR? A maintainer would have to supply the credentials to be able push the package to PyPi. Is this something you would be interested in doing?
