Is there a way to change the artifact name for a module in a Gradle multi module project via Kotlin DSL?

In general I don’t know any Gradle API or plugins API that cannot be confugured from Kotlin DSL, sometimes it’s not easy because of dynamic APIs or you should know what to configure: extension, convention or task

So something similar to this: <https://stackoverflow.com/a/24827804>

Yes, just configure this extension. You can try, if you still have some problems share your example

Been looking through the *maven-publish* plugin documentation (<https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/publishing_maven.html>), and found a possible way to set the artifactId (via *name* property in the *pom* block). Unfortunately with the Kotlin DSL the name property is read only, where as with the Groovy DSL the property is writable :slightly_frowning_face: .

probably you need something like `setName`

```publishing {
    (publications) {
        "mavenJava"(MavenPublication::class) {
            pom {
                withGroovyBuilder {
                    "name"("something")
                }
            }
        }
    }
}```

Check this sample from kotlin-dsl repo: <https://github.com/gradle/kotlin-dsl/tree/201534f53d93660c273e09f768557220d33810a9/samples/maven-plugin>

part about pom is very dynamic and based on groovy dynamic properties

Have something a bit different from what was posted:
```
publishing {
    publications {
        create("sources", MavenPublication::class.java) {
            from(components["java"])
            artifact(createSourceJar)
            pom {
                // Do things with pom here...
            }
        }
    }
    // ...
}
```

`create("sources", MavenPublication::class.java)` is just desugared version of `sources"(MavenPublication::class)`

again, I’m not sure how to set name, maybe publication name will be used, I just showed how to add field to POM, that’s why it can be available on groovy, but not on kotlin
