How to publish source into local maven repository with Gradle?

Question

I am developing two related project. One of which is \"helper\" one and another is \"main\" one. I am constantly updating \"main\", but from time to time I am also updating

Answer 1

I believe a cleaner and more concise solution for this is to use the maven-plugin, it provides the install task which matches Maven's install task. Update your build.gradle to include the following:

apply plugin: 'maven'

Then to publish (e.g. install) to Maven local repository, run: gradle install or ./gradlew install. See also this solution: Gradle alternate to mvn install

Note: the current Gradle docs (as of v4.9) says the maven-plugin is the "Old Maven Plugin" (but it is not deprecated). https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/maven_plugin.html

I think this is the simplest solution to this question at this time.
