Gradle - plugin maven-publish: How to publish only specific publication to a repository

Question

We have two different artifacts that is going to be published to two different maven repositories. - "ProjectXMergedWar" should be published to "MyMavenRepo1" (snapshots) - "ProjectXJarRelease" should be published to "MyMavenRepo2" (release) - "ProjectXMergedWar" should never be published to "MyMavenRepo2" (release) - "ProjectXJarRelease" should never be published to "MyMavenRepo1" (snapshots) We use the plugin maven-publish where you configure a set of publications and reposistories. The plugin then generates tasks for all combinations of publications and repositories (see tasks list at the bottom). Currently the tasks `publish` and `publishRelease` is doing what we want, but there are tasks we don't want. Some solutions might be: - Can we remove the unwanted tasks**? - Can we configure maven-publish to only generate two publish tasks (the wanted tasks*)? - Can we call the correct classes directly (`repo.publish(artifact)` or something like that)? I have looked at the source code of…

Accepted Answer

You could disable and hide the "invalid" tasks like so:

```
apply plugin: 'maven-publish'

publishing {
    repositories {
        maven {
            name 'Dev'
            url 'http://dev/'
            credentials {
                username 'username'
                password 'password'
            }
        }

maven {
            name 'Prod'
            url 'http://prod/'
            credentials {
                username 'username'
                password 'password'
            }
        }

}

publications {
        // This will only be enabled on Dev
        MyDevJar(MavenPublication) {
            artifactId "test"
            version "1.0"
            groupId "org.example"
            artifact file('abc')
            ext.repo = 'Dev'
        }

// This will only be enabled on prod
        MyJar(MavenPublication) {
            artifactId "test"
            version "1.0"
            groupId "org.example"
            artifact file('abc')
            ext.repo = 'Prod'
        }
    }
}

afterEvaluate {
    tasks.withType(PublishToMavenRepository) { task ->
        if (task.publication.hasProperty('repo') && task.publication.repo != task.repository.name) {
            task.enabled = false
            task.group = null
        }
    }
}
```
