Overview

apply plugin: 'maven'

The Maven plugin define an "install" task of type "Upload". It installs the associated artifacts to the local Maven cache, including the Maven metadata. By default, the task is associated with the "archives" configuration.

Additionally to installing artifacts into the local Maven cache (repository), the plugin can upload to remote Maven repositories.

Gradle can be configured to publish artifacts to a Maven repository by configuring Maven plugin's uploadArchive task In build.gradle:

uploadArchives {
    repositories {
        mavenDeployer {
            repository(url: "file://localhost/tmp/myRepo/")
        }
    }
}
