A Gradle plugin that automates publishing Java, Kotlin, Android, and Kotlin Multiplatform libraries to Maven Central or any Nexus instance, including sources and javadoc. It unifies publishing configuration across project types and supports in-memory GPG signing for CI.

Use cases

  • publish my android library to maven central
  • upload kotlin multiplatform library to nexus
  • sign artifacts with gpg on CI without key files
  • publish gradle plugin with sources and javadoc
  • configure maven publishing for all subprojects via gradle properties
  • automatically release from sonatype staging without web UI

When to choose

  • you publish Android, Kotlin, or KMP libraries and want one unified setup
  • you want easy Maven Central publishing with automatic releasing
  • you need CI-friendly GPG signing via environment variables

When to avoid

  • you publish only plain JVM artifacts and are happy with Gradle's built-in maven-publish
  • your target repository is not Maven/Nexus compatible
  • you don't use Gradle as your build system
