Overview

"maven-publish" is an newer alternative to publishing with Maven Plugin, using "publish" tasks instead of Maven Plugin "Upload" tasks. The plugin generates Maven metadata and publishes the generated metadata and the associated artifacts to Maven repositories. The concepts behind publishing with "maven-publish", and the plugin mechanics, are described in the Concepts and Plugin Mechanics below. A step by step procedure is available under the Procedure section.

The plugin is activated with:

apply plugin: 'maven-publish'
