CycloneDX Gradle Plugin

The CycloneDX Gradle plugin creates an aggregate of all direct and transitive dependencies of a project and creates a valid CycloneDX SBOM. CycloneDX is a lightweight software bill of materials (SBOM) specification designed for use in application security contexts and supply chain component analysis.

Usage

Execution:

gradle cyclonedxBom

Output CycloneDX Generation Info:

gradle cyclonedxBom -info

Exclude BOM Serial Number:

gradle cyclonedxBom -Pcyclonedx.includeBomSerialNumber=false

build.gradle (excerpt)

plugins {
    id 'org.cyclonedx.bom'
}

apply plugin: 'java'
apply plugin: 'maven'

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
}

settings.gradle (excerpt)

pluginManagement {
    resolutionStrategy {
        eachPlugin {
            if (requested.id.toString() == 'org.cyclonedx.bom') {
                useModule('org.cyclonedx:cyclonedx-gradle-plugin:1.5.1')
            }
        }
    }
    repositories {
        mavenCentral()
    }
}

Once a BOM is generated, it will reside at ./build/reports/bom.xml and ./build/reports/bom.json

Configuration: You can control the configurations included in the BOM:

cyclonedxBom {
    // includeConfigs is the list of configuration names to include when generating the BOM (leave empty to include every configuration)
    includeConfigs += ["runtimeClasspath"]
    // skipConfigs is a list of configuration names to exclude when generating the BOM
    skipConfigs += ["compileClasspath", "testCompileClasspath"]
    // Specified the type of project being built. Defaults to 'library' 
    projectType = "application"
    // Specified the version of the CycloneDX specification to use. Defaults to 1.2.
    schemaVersion = "1.2"
}

Run gradle with info logging (-i option) to see which configurations add to the BOM.
