withSourcesJar

Adds a task sourcesJar that will package the Java sources of the main SourceSet in a JAR with classifier sources.

The produced artifact is registered as a documentation variant on the java component and added as a dependency on the assemble task. This means that if maven-publish or ivy-publish is also applied, the sources JAR will be published.

If the project already has a task named sourcesJar then no task is created.

The publishing of the sources variant can be disabled using skip through withVariantsFromConfiguration, if it should only be built locally by calling or wiring the ':sourcesJar' task.
