I wrote about Gradle publishing plugins https://mbonnin.medium.com/gradle-publishing-plugins-a-decision-matrix-a2f04bba6f13

Awesome writeup! Personally I still find it somewhat weird that Gradle does not provide nicer integrations with sonatype out of the box and we end up using 3rd party plugins to get it working

Thanks 🙏! Yea, I guess it's not an easy problem mainly because there are tons of different options (mpp, plugins, android, custom pom, sources, etc, etc...). At least the bintray plugin and older

maven

are on their way out now which somehow simplifies the setup.

I was thinking about even something more basic -> like the ability to auto-release your project from sonatype staging and ensuring that multi module projects end up in a single staging repo

Yea, that'd be nice
