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

Answer 1

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?

A simple answer to this is to set the jar.baseName which then overrides the directory name.

// changes the name of the jar from the directory name
jar.baseName = 'some_arifact_name';

This seems to work for me.
