You're more than welcome to use artifactory plugin for that. The documentation can be found in our user guide and below you can find a full working example of gradle build.

Run gradle build artifactoryPublish to build and publish the project.

buildscript {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath(group: 'org.jfrog.buildinfo', name: 'build-info-extractor-gradle', version: '3.0.1')
    }
}
apply plugin: 'java'
apply plugin: 'maven-publish'
apply plugin: 'com.jfrog.artifactory'

group = 'com.jfrog.example'
version = '1.2-SNAPSHOT'
status = 'SNAPSHOT'

dependencies {
    compile 'org.slf4j:slf4j-api:1.7.5'
    testCompile 'junit:junit:4.11'
}

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

publishing {
    publications {
        main(MavenPublication) {
            from components.java
            artifact sourcesJar
    }
}

artifactory {
    contextUrl = 'http://myartifactory/artifactory'
    resolve {
        repository {
            repoKey = 'libs-release'
        }
    }
    publish {
        repository {
            repoKey = 'libs-snapshot-local'
            username = 'whatever'
            password = 'whatever123'
        }
        defaults {
            publications 'main'
        }
    }
}
