How do you set the maven artifact ID of a gradle project?

Question

From the gradle maven-publish plugin's documentation, it's clear that you set the groupId and version of the project directly in build.gradle:

group = 'org.gradle.sample' version = '1.0' 

However, the artifactId appears to be taken from the name of the folder you are working within. Is there a way to set the artifactId explicitly?

Answer 1

From 36.2.3. Identity values in the generated POM

publishing {     publications {         maven(MavenPublication) {             groupId 'org.gradle.sample'             artifactId 'project1-sample'             version '1.1'              from components.java         }     } } 

The artifact ID defaults to the project name configured in settings.gradle, which in turn defaults to the project directory's name.

You'll need the appropriate plugin.

plugins {     id 'maven-publish' }

Related to the root settings.gradle file, you can change the name of the root project with:

rootProject.name = 'myproject' 

But if you want to change the name of a sub-project (for example, the default "app" sub-project of an AndroidStudio project), you can do something like this, still in the root settings.gradle file:

rootProject.children.each {     it.name = ('app' == it.name ? 'MyAppName' : it.name) }
