PublicationContainer

interface PublicationContainer : ExtensiblePolymorphicDomainObjectContainer<Publication>

A PublicationContainer is responsible for creating and managing Publication instances. The set of available publication types is dependent on the application of particular plugins:

The org.gradle.api.publish.maven.plugins.MavenPublishPlugin makes it possible to create org.gradle.api.publish.maven.MavenPublication instances.
The org.gradle.api.publish.ivy.plugins.IvyPublishPlugin makes it possible to create org.gradle.api.publish.ivy.IvyPublication instances.

 apply plugin: 'ivy-publish' publishing.publications.create('publication-name', IvyPublication) { // Configure the ivy publication here }

The usual way to add publications is via a configuration block. See the documentation for PublishingExtension#publications(org.gradle.api.Action) for examples of how to create and configure publications.

Inherited Functions

registerBinding

abstract fun registerBinding(type: Class, implementationType: Class<out U>): Unit

Registers a binding from the specified "public" domain object type to the specified implementation type. Whenever the container is asked to create an element with the binding's public type, it will instantiate the binding's implementation type. If the implementation type has a constructor annotated with javax.inject.Inject, its arguments will be injected.

In general, registering a binding is preferable over implementing and registering a factory.

registerFactory

abstract fun registerFactory(type: Class, factory: NamedDomainObjectFactory<out U>): Unit
abstract fun registerFactory(type: Class, factory: Closure<out U>): Unit

Registers a factory for creating elements of the specified type. Typically, the specified type is an interface type.
