How to set GROUP and VERSION using the base plugin

See original GitHub issue

Hello,

I’m trying to use the base plugin, because I want to publish and Android library to MavenCentral without source code and without Javadoc.

Version is com.vanniktech:gradle-maven-publish-plugin:0.18.0

Here is my configuration:

Main build.gradle file

allprojects {
    plugins.withId("com.vanniktech.maven.publish.base") {
        GROUP = "my.group"
        VERSION = "1.0.0"

        mavenPublishing {
            publishToMavenCentral("S01")
            pomFromGradleProperties()
            signAllPublications()
        }
    }
}

Project build.gradle file

import com.vanniktech.maven.publish.AndroidLibrary
import com.vanniktech.maven.publish.JavadocJar

apply plugin: "com.vanniktech.maven.publish.base"

mavenPublishing {
    configure(new AndroidLibrary(new JavadocJar.Empty(), false))
}

Result

I get this error:

groovy.lang.MissingPropertyException: Could not set unknown property ‘VERSION’

If GROUP and VERSION are not set (if I comment out the 2 lines), when publishing using this command:

./gradlew publish --no-daemon --no-parallel

I get this error:

Could not PUT 'https://s01.oss.sonatype.org/service/local/staging/deploy/maven2/android/project/unspecified/project-unspecified.aar'. Received status code 400 from server: Bad Request

it seems that group and version (= “unspecified”) are not correct in this path.

Using the main plugin, it works fine, but Javadoc and source code are also published, and I cannot find a way to disable this using the main plugin.

Thanks!
