Hello!
I want to publish some library to maven repo, but I’m new to gradle DSL.
Could somebody help me to understand this lines from the tutorial:

val javadocJar by tasks.registering(Jar::class) {
    archiveClassifier.set(“javadoc”)
}

publications.withType&lt;MavenPublication&gt; {
        // Stub javadoc.jar artifact
        artifact(javadocJar.get())
}

is javadocJar a new task or  already defined task?
How javadoc is triggered?

Thank you!

`registering` creates a new task. See:
<https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/kotlin_dsl.html#using_the_container_api>

You'll have to call the task yourself of attach it to some other task by using e.g. `dependsOn`
