Overview

Publishing plugins, such as Maven and Maven Publish, define publishing tasks, which then can be configured in build scripts and used to publish artifacts. The Gradle dependency configurations are also used to specify publishing artifacts. There are two configurations introduced by the Java plugin that are relevant to artifact generation and publishing: archives and runtime. Their relationship with artifact publishing is explained in the Java plugin page. Any custom archive created as part of the build are not automatically assigned to any configuration. If such as assignment is desired, it will have to be explicitly declared.
