02/09/2019, 6:24 PMwhat is wrong with your POM with gradle? Using uploadArchives it was a general nightmare to get a correct POM but with maven-publish the POM files generated seem to be correct.

02/09/2019, 6:27 PMwhat I meant is that when I apply a plugin
I don't see what happens
under the hood
I need to check the source
with maven you just add some xml, and you can generate an effective pom
everything is explicit
with Gradle you can't achieve this since your build is not an xml file but a script
I'm not saying that Maven is better
I moved to Gradle for a reason
but I still miss effective poms

02/09/2019, 6:28 PMah yes, I agree. I find gradle to effectively prefer/encourage the use of "magic" which is not something I really want in a build system but we don't get much of a choice on the matter unfortunately given the weak/non existent support to non gradle alternatives
