Slack Java Webhook

GoCD recently added support for notification extension point. I've started building slack notification plugin (its a WIP here). As part of that I wrote a Java client for Slack Webhooks. Although I found a java library here, which said it was published but I couldn't find it anywhere on sonatype / maven central. I can't even publish it, so I took that as an inspiration and wrote my own implementation on https://github.com/ashwanthkumar/slack-java-webhook.

Usage

new Slack(webhookUrl)
    .icon(":smiling_imp:") // Ref - http://www.emoji-cheat-sheet.com/
    .sendToUser("slackbot")
    .displayName("slack-java-client")
    .push(new SlackMessage("Text from my ").bold("Slack-Java-Client"));

It gets posted in the slack channel like below
