Java – use gradle to upload the source to the nexus repository

I successfully uploaded my jars to a nexus repository, which uses the Maven plug-in for gradients, but did not upload the source code This is my configuration:

uploadArchives {
    repositories{
        mavenDeployer {
            repository(url: "http://...") {
                 authentication(userName: "user",password: "myPassword")
            }
        }
    }
}

I searched and found that I can add a source by adding a new task

task sourcesJar(type: Jar,dependsOn:classes) {
     classifier = 'sources'
     from sourceSets.main.allSource
}

artifacts {
     archives sourcesJar
}

This is good, but I think there must be a better solution for configuring Maven plug-in, such as uploadsource = true:

uploadArchives {
    repositories{
        mavenDeployer {
            repository(url: "http://...") {
                 authentication(userName: "user",password: "myPassword")
            }
            uploadSources = true
        }
    }
}

Solution

There is no better solution than your own description The gradle Maven plugin is uploading all artifacts generated in the current project This is why you must explicitly create a "source" artifact

When using the new Maven publish plug-in, the situation will not change Here, you also need to explicitly define other artifacts:

task sourceJar(type: Jar) {
    from sourceSets.main.allJava
}

publishing {
    publications {
        mavenJava(MavenPublication) {
            from components.java

            artifact sourceJar {
                classifier "sources"
            }
        }
    }
}

The reason is that graduates are more general construction tools than pure Java projects
