Publish Java artifact to Maven Local with Gradle

I am facing a problem when trying to install a generated jar into my local Maven Repository. The message error just show me 'task 'publish' is not found'

I am using this Gradle Script:

buildscript {
	ext {
		springBootVersion = '1.3.2.RELEASE'
	}
	repositories {
		mavenCentral()
	}
	dependencies {
		classpath("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-gradle-plugin:${springBootVersion}") 
	}
}

apply plugin: 'java'
apply plugin: 'eclipse'
apply plugin: 'idea'
apply plugin: 'spring-boot'
apply plugin: 'maven-publish'

jar {
	baseName = 'mongofoundry'
	version = '1.0.0'
}
sourceCompatibility = 1.7
targetCompatibility = 1.7


repositories {
	mavenCentral()
}


dependencies {
	compile('org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-web')
	compile('org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-data-mongodb')
	testCompile('org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-test') 
}

publishing {
    publications {
        mavenJava(MavenPublication) {
            from components.java
        }
    }
}


eclipse {
	classpath {
		 containers.remove('org.eclipse.jdt.launching.JRE_CONTAINER')
		 containers 'org.eclipse.jdt.launching.JRE_CONTAINER/org.eclipse.jdt.internal.debug.ui.launcher.StandardVMType/JavaSE-1.7'
	}
}

task wrapper(type: Wrapper) {
	gradleVersion = '2.9'
}

Do you have some idea Why I am reading that error message? Thanks.

UPDATED

Running the command as @RaGe mentioned, solved the problem:

gradle publishToMavenLocal.

The correct task to publish artifacts to local maven is

gradle publishToMavenLocal

Check Maven locally

For developing and testing it is useful to check library locally

gradle settings for apply plugin: 'com.android.library' not apply plugin: 'java-library'(where you can use it by default)

apply plugin: 'maven-publish'

//simple settings
project.afterEvaluate {
    publishing {
        publications {
            library(MavenPublication) {
                //setGroupId groupId
                setGroupId "com.company"
                //setArtifactId artifactId
                setArtifactId "HelloWorld"
                version "1.1"

                artifact bundleDebugAar

/* add a dependency into generated .pom file
                pom.withXml {
                    def dependenciesNode = asNode().appendNode('dependencies')
                    def dependencyNode = dependenciesNode.appendNode('dependency')
                    dependencyNode.appendNode('groupId', 'com.company')
                    dependencyNode.appendNode('artifactId', 'HelloWorld-core')
                    dependencyNode.appendNode('version', '1.1')

                }
*/
            }
        }
    }
}

to run it using command line or find this command in Gradle tab

./gradlew publishToMavenLocal

Location

artefact will be added into .m2 folder

//Unix
~/.m2

//Windows
C:\Users\<username>\.m2

//For example
/Users/alex/.m2/repository/<library_path>/<version>/<name>.<extension>

build folder

<project_path>/build/outputs/<extension>

other repositories location

~/.gradle/caches/modules-2/files-2.1/<group_id>/<artifact_id>/<version>/<id>

//For example
/Users/alex/.gradle/caches/modules-2/files-2.1/com.company/HelloWorld/1.1/c84ac8bc425dcae087c8abbc9ecdc27fafbb664a

To use it add mavenLocal(). It is important to place it as a first item for prioritise it, which is useful for internal dependencies

buildscript {
    repositories {
        mavenLocal()
    }

allprojects {
    repositories {
        mavenLocal()
    }
}

and

dependencies {
    implementation 'com.company:HelloWorld:+'
}

*Also remember if you use a kind of shared.gradle file (via apply from) you should set path which is relevant to project.gradle (not shared.gradle)

Add maven plugin to your project and then: gradle clean install

This is how I did it with Kotlin DSL (build.gradle.kts) for my Android library:

plugins {
    id("maven-publish")
    // OR simply
    // `maven-publish`
    // ...
}

publishing {
    repositories {
        // Local repository which we can first publish in it to check artifacts
        maven {
            name = "LocalTestRepo"
            url = uri("file://${buildDir}/local-repository")
        }
    }
    publications {
        // ...
    }
}

You can create all the publications with the following command:

./gradlew publishAllPublicationsToLocalTestRepoRepository

Or just a single publication with this command:

./gradlew publishReleasePublicationToLocalTestRepoRepository

See Gradle documentations: Maven Publish Plugin for more information.
