publications

Configures the publications of this project.

The publications container defines the outgoing publications of the project. That is, the consumable representations of things produced by building the project. An example of a publication would be an Ivy Module (i.e. ivy.xml and artifacts), or Maven Project (i.e. pom.xml and artifacts).

Actual publication implementations and the ability to create them are provided by different plugins. The “publishing” plugin itself does not provide any publication types. For example, given that the 'maven-publish' plugin provides a org.gradle.api.publish.maven.MavenPublication type, you can create a publication like:

plugins {
    id 'maven-publish'
}

publishing {
  publications {
    myPublicationName(MavenPublication) {
      // Configure the publication here
    }
  }
}

Please see org.gradle.api.publish.ivy.IvyPublication and org.gradle.api.publish.maven.MavenPublication for more information on publishing in these specific formats.
