asciidoctor-gradle-plugin | Gradle plugin that uses Asciidoctor via JRuby | Plugin library

I have a project that generates a Bill of Materials (BOM). When I execute gradle build it generates an empty jar, containing only a META-INF folder.

However I am able to publish the pom (BOM) to Nexus correctly, with the side effect of also uploading the empty jar.

According to the maven plugin doc https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/maven_plugin.html we should be able to set the packaging:

packaging archiveTask.extension

Here, uploadTask and archiveTask refer to the tasks used for uploading and generating the archive

How can I set the packaging to pom?

Example of Gradle uploaded pom:

I was able to launch a Spring Boot Kotlin App from IntelliJ 2017.3. After the last IntelliJ fix update I cannot start that application from the IDE, getting this exception:

Imagine you have a gradle build with a gradle subproject. This subproject has some applied script plugin which define their own repositories like this:

I split my build in 2 files. build.gradle.kts documentation.gradle.kts and I d'like to include the documentation.gradle.kts in my main buildscript.

So I could share it with other projects. But I am getting an error about asciidoctorj not found.

What am I missing?

I use gradle with asciidoctor-gradle-plugin to produce documentation in varioius formats. My build.gradle looks like:

I am currently migrating an application from maven to gradle (4.10.2). In maven, a tar.gz-file would be generated with configuration, dependencies and some empty directories that would then be used by the application during runtime.

In gradle i am using the distribution plugin to create the tar.gz using the distTar-Task.

To create the empty directories inside the tar.gz, i create them in the build-directory and then have them copied by distTar into the tar.gz.

I managed to finally get this by creating a task createEmptyDirectories that would just create the directories and be done with it. distTar would dependOn this task so that the directories are created before the tar.gz or so i thought.

The task createEmptyDirectories however is always skipped during build (using gradle clean build):

I was trying to export asciidoc document to ODT. I found unofficial backend implementation that does the work: https://github.com/dagwieers/asciidoc-odf. My question is: how can install and use this backend using gradle? Is it even possible? I have no idea how to start.

Here is my build.gradle that does it for PDF
