How to publish Using Gradle build tool

You need to configure each build tool with Nexus credentials and address
Add the following code snippet in the build.gradle file in your project.
This file is also called the Gradle build script. The build configuration, tasks, and plugins are described in this file.
Now we have to give user the Gradle or Maven credential to connnect with Nexus
Add a plugin in the build.gradle and it will allow gradle to connect with nexus and push in repository
```
apply plugin : 'maven-publish'
```

Now , add a publishing block

publishing {
publication { 

    }
repositories {

    }
}

Publication block gives the info about jar file configuration
Repositories block gives the info about the nexus repositories that we are going to upload our jar file

apply plugin: 'maven-publish'

publishing{
    publications{
        maven(MavenPublication){
            artifact("build/libs/my-app-$version"+".jar"){
                extension 'jar'
            }
        }
    }
    repositories {
        maven {
            name 'nexus'
            url "http://[your nexus ip]:[your nexus port]/repository/maven-snapshorts/"
            credentials {
                username xxx
                password xxx
            }
        }
    }
}

Add credentials in gradle.properties file

repoUser = pankaj
repoPassword = passwd

Now, reference those credential in the build.gradle file

apply plugin: 'maven-publish'

publishing{
    publications{
        maven(MavenPublication){
            artifact("build/libs/my-app-$version"+".jar"){
                extension 'jar'
            }
        }
    }
    repositories {
        maven {
            name 'nexus'
            url "http://[your nexus ip]:[your nexus port]/repository/maven-snapshorts/"
            credentials {
                username project.repoUser
                password project.repoPasswd
            }
        }
    }
}

Final step

Build the jar file

Open your project folder in the terminal and build the jar file
```
./gradlew build
```
You will get output like this :

You can check in your /build/libs/ directory . There will be a .jar file

Upload the jar file to the repository

./gradlew publish

NOTE : the publish command was not present in Gradle . That's why we apply the apply plugin : 'maven-publish' in the first place so, Gradle will know what to publish and where to publish
