Maven-plugin does not seem to package src/main/resources into the created jar with the latest gradle-1.0 M6. can anybody help?

The Maven plugin isn’t involved here; it’s only needed for publishing to Maven repositories.

Can you be more specific about your problem? Can you show your build script or provide a sample project? Did you do a clean build after switching to M6? It’s most certainly not a general problem but something specific to your situation.

Hey Peter, I have actually figured that one out. I had a filter in another step that kept removing files from the list to be copied. Where it was I did not assume it had an effect on the Maven build… how ever: is there a straightforward way to build a src distribution fir maven?

Not sure what you mean by that. When you use Gradle, everything is built with Gradle, no matter if and where you publish it to (e.g. a Maven repo).

is there a straightforward way to build a src distribution fir maven?

You mean a source Jar? If you add a source Jar task in the usual (Gradle) way, the source Jar should be published to the Maven repo automatically.

You can generate a sources Jar like so:

apply plugin: "java"
  ...
  task sourcesJar(type: Jar) {
  from sourceSets.main.java
}
