Publishing artifacts before gradle 1.3

Before gradle1.3, publishing artifacts uses uploadconfigurationname to publish

Declare that artifacts depends on usage

Build. gradle

artifacts {    artifact

}

Statement.

Artifact generation: three methods can be used:

1. Use a defined task:

task myJar(type: Jar)artifacts {   archives myJar}

2. Use a file:

def someFile = file(‘build/somefile.txt‘)artifacts {  archives someFile}

3. customize an artifact

task myTask(type: MyTaskType) {  destFile = file(‘build/somefile.txt‘)}artifacts {  archives(myTask.destFile) {  name ‘my-artifact‘  type ‘text‘  builtBy myTask  }}

Start upload:

repositories { flatDir {  name "fileRepo"  dirs "repo"  }}uploadArchives {  repositories {    add project.repositories.fileRepo    ivy {      credentials {         username "username"         password "pw"       }    url "http://repo.mycompany.com"   }  }}

This uploadarchives is actually the uploadconfigurationname. Archives is the configurationname of artifacts in the preceding section.

Note: After gradle1.3, a new mechanism will be used to upload components. This will be discussed in the next article.
