How Do I Publish A Renamed bootJar? - spring-boot

Question

I am in a gradle 4.10 Spring Boot project called rest and in my build.gradle I have renamed the boot jar that is created by adding
bootJar.baseName = 'myprefix-rest'
When I run ./gradlew bootJar it creates a file called myprefix-rest-0.1.jar as expected.
However, when I add the maven-publish publish plugin and try to publish, it publishes the file called rest-0.1.jar
publishing {
publications {
bootJava(MavenPublication) {
artifact bootJar
}
}
repositories {
maven {
url = "$buildDir"
}
}
}
Why is it not picking up the baseName?

Answer 1

Why is it not picking up the baseName?
From the MavenPublication docs,
The default Maven POM identifying attributes are mapped as follows:
groupId - project.group
artifactId - project.name
version - project.version
so the actual file name of the boot jar file is not being used. You can overrride the artifactId,
publishing {
publications {
bootJava(MavenPublication) {
artifact bootJar
artifactId bootJar.baseName
}
}
..
}
