Publish multimodule (maven-publish)

Help/Discuss

Hi everyone

I have problem publishing multimodule project using maven-publish plugin. I just can’t pick-up jars. I have root build.gradle like this:

allprojects {
repositories {
    jcenter()
}

apply plugin: 'maven'
apply plugin: 'maven-publish'
publishing {
    publications {
        compiler(MavenPublication) {
            groupId 'com.levelmoney.kbuilders'
            artifactId project.name
            version rootProject.version
        }
    }
}
}

If I put from components.java then I get error about missing jar file because one of submodules have custom jar name:

jar {
    baseName 'something-else'
}

If I put artifact jar then I get error that it couldn’t convert lambda to the artifact.

If i put

artifacts {
    archives jar
}

then nothing changes

So is there any way to publish artifacts?

UPD
The only solution I found is to make everything by hand that is too stupid

apply plugin: 'maven-publish'

publishing {
    publications {
        compiler(MavenPublication) {
            groupId 'com.levelmoney.kbuilders'
            artifactId 'compiler'
            version rootProject.version

            artifact file('compiler/build/libs/kbuilders.jar')
        }
        gradlePlugin(MavenPublication) {
            groupId 'com.levelmoney.kbuilders'
            artifactId 'gradle-plugin'
            version rootProject.version

            artifact file('gradle-plugin/build/libs/gradle-plugin.jar')

            pom.withXml {
                def dependenciesNode = asNode().appendNode('dependencies')
                project("gradle-plugin").configurations.getByName("runtime").allDependencies.findAll { it.name != 'unspecified' }.each {
                    def dependencyNode = dependenciesNode.appendNode('dependency')
                    dependencyNode.appendNode('groupId', it.group)
                    dependencyNode.appendNode('artifactId', it.name)
                    dependencyNode.appendNode('version', it.version == 'unspecified'? rootProject.version : it.version)
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

I have a little improvement to your code.
In original *.pom files I also had elements <type> (sometimes, for example with ‘aar’ value) and <scope> (always, with value ‘compile’). So in my solution I added this part of code to ‘each’ closure:

def artifactsList = it.properties['artifacts']
if (artifactsList != null && artifactsList.size() > 0) {
    org.gradle.api.internal.artifacts.dependencies.DefaultDependencyArtifact artifact = artifactsList[0]

    dependencyNode.appendNode('type', artifact.getType())
} 

dependencyNode.appendNode('scope', 'compile')
