Im trying to publish my Project to mavenCentral; I am using this code:

publishing {
    repositories {
        maven {
            credentials {
                username 'username'
                password 'password'
            }
            def snapshotsRepoUrl = "https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots"
            def releasesRepoUrl = "https://oss.sonatype.org/service/local/staging/deploy/maven2"
            url = snapshotsRepoUrl
            name = "Sonatype"
        }
    }

and it spits out:
