Publish Snapshot vs Publish Release in Gradle With Continuous Integration

Question

I\'m just learning Gradle, coming from both an Ant+Ivy and Maven background and I\'m trying to wrap my head around the proper way to publish a release version of my software

Answer 1

You can configure the snapshot and the release repository in the 'Upload' task (e.g. the uploadArchives) task:

uploadArchives {  
    repositories {  
        mavenDeployer {  
            repository(url: 'http://myCompanyRepo.com:8081/releases') {  
                authentication(userName: 'admin', password: 'password');  
            }  
            snapshotRepository(url: 'http://myCompanyRepo.com:8081/snapshots') {
                authentication(userName: 'admin', password: 'password');  
            }  
        }  
    }  
}

For *-SNAPSHOT versions the snapshotRepository is used. Otherwise the releases repo is used.
