Maven-publish plugin: Failed to retrieve remote metadata (maven-metadata.xml)

Hello,

I am new to gradle and try to publish my artifacts to nexus. I found the maven-publish plugin for this but I didn’t get it working.

Here is my configuration from build.gradle:

publishing {
        repositories {
           maven {
           url "$baseurl/pws-${project.version.endsWith('-SNAPSHOT') ? 'snapshots' : 'releases' }"
           credentials {
              username '$nexusUser'
              password '$nexusPassword'
          }
       }
 }
}
publishing {
    publications {
        mavenJava(MavenPublication) {
            groupId 'com.my.group.id'
            artifactId 'artifactId'
            version '0.0.1-SNAPSHOT'
        }
    }
}

Whenever I run the task “publish” I get the following error:

Failed to publish publication ‘mavenJava’ to repository ‘maven’
> Failed to retrieve remote metadata com.my.group.id:artifactId:0.1-SNAPSHOT/maven-metadata.xml: Could not transfer metadata com.my.group.id:artifactId:0.1-SNAPSHOT/maven-metadata.xml from/to remote (http://xxxx/xxxxx): Could not get resource ‘com/my/group/id/artifactId/0.1-SNAPSHOT/maven-metadata.xml’

The maven-metadata.xml is not uploaded but I don’t know why.
There is no return value or another error which indicates the problem. Have someone an idea whats going wrong here?

Thanks in advanced
Tobi

Same issue - no information about what the expectation here is - where does this file come from, what does maven-plugin need to generate it?
