Publishing a proprietary archive using maven-publish

Help/Discuss

I completely agree with Mark’s recommendation.

I’ll also add that in many cases the artifact of a publication should be the output of a task.
If the task is not an AbstractArchiveTask:

artifact( tasks.someTask.outputs.singleFile ) {
    ...
    builtBy tasks.someTask
}

or if the task is an AbstractArchiveTask:

artifact( tasks.someTask )

@mark_vieira Is there any interest in having a shortcut in Gradle that handles non-AbstractArchiveTask’s in the manner I show above? If so, perhaps it’s something I could look at providing a pull request for.
