You can open this sample in an IDE that supports Gradle.

This sample shows how to publish a Java library to a repository. The library has no dependencies and the build has minimal configuration.

my-library/build.gradle.kts
plugins {
    `java-library`
    `maven-publish`
}

version = "1.0.2"
group = "org.gradle.sample"

publishing {
    publications {
        create<MavenPublication>("library") {
            from(components["java"])
        }
    }
    repositories {
        maven {
            url = uri(layout.buildDirectory.dir("publishing-repository"))
        }
    }
}
my-library/build.gradle
plugins {
    id 'java-library'
    id 'maven-publish'
}

version = '1.0.2'
group = 'org.gradle.sample'

publishing {
    publications {
        library(MavenPublication) {
            from components.java
        }
    }
    repositories {
        maven {
            url = layout.buildDirectory.dir("publishing-repository")
        }
    }
}

To publish the library:

$ ./gradlew publish
