Publishing non-jar files in gradle

Question

I am having a set of files (specifically a set of json documents) that I need to publish to my Maven repository.

How do I use publishing and specify the directory in

Answer 1

You can create a task to zip all your documents and then publish the zip.

task jsonZip(type: Zip) {
    source file(/path/to/dir)
}

publications {
    myPublication(MavenPublication) {
        artifact jsonZip.archivePath
    }

}
