Maven-publish does not work? can't find maven-metadata.xml

Where is maven-metadata.xml supposed to come from when you are using maven-publish?

I expect it would be generated for me, but there is very little information about this. Testing out maven-publish, uploading to an S3 bucket. Everything goes great, the artifacts, sha1s and poms are all uploaded to my bucket just as I expect.

The very last step fails with an error telling me it can’t find maven-metadata.xml

Could not transfer metadata …/maven-metadata.xml from/to remote (s3://…/releases): Could not get resource ‘…/maven-metadata.xml’

I just want to publish my artifact to a bucket. I explicitly to not want a 3rd party like artifactory or nexus involved here, I just want to know how maven-publish generates this with just gradle.

Also your publish task silently succeeds when it publishes nothing, which can happen due to configuration error. I’m guessing that noone ever expects run publish and get a noop, an error would be better here.
