Hello everyone!
Sonatype has updated the documentation for publishing artifacts to the Central Repository via the free Open Source Repository Hosting (OSSRH) service.
Please look at the announcement blog post at
http://blog.sonatype.com/2014/03/a-home-for-the-central-repository/
and visit the new website itself at
There you will find information about service status, getting help with publishing to/using artifacts in the Central Repository, and more!
Specifically the instructions for Gradle are at
http://central.sonatype.org/pages/gradle.html
This documentation would not have been possible without valuable contributions from the Gradle community, so feel free to provide feedback and suggestions for the documentation using the OSSRH JIRA – https://issues.sonatype.org/browse/OSSRH
Sincerely, Jason, Joel, Manfred and others Sonatype Ops Team - @sonatype_ops
