How to publish a jar to flatDir with Gradle without "-unspecified" in the name?

Question

I have a gradle project that publishes a jar file to a flatDir repository. The publishing works fine, but the uploadArchives task seems to append "-unspecified" to the jar's filename when uploading it. The jar's filename in the build/libs output folder does not have this postfix.

How can I configure the uploadArchives task to skip the appending of "-unspecified" ?

This likely happens because you didn't set project.version. Either set it to a version number, or set it to null.
