Build and upload jar to jcenter

Question

I've created a library for Android and now I would like to publish it. I have followed this guide and got it to work on jcenter and I'm able to use it.

The uploaded file, however, is an *.aar file.

How can I get it to compile and upload a .jar?

Answer 1

The Gradle project in the blog post you refer to is an Android library project, that's why it creates aar file.

For example of a Java project (that create a jar), take a look at Bintray's GitHub examples repository. If you work with Gradle, probably the gradle-bintray-plugin-examples/publications-example/ will be the right one to begin with.
