How are folks dealing with the verbosity of sharing an artifact between projects? It requires something like this on the consumer:

val lambdaDistributions = configurations.dependencyScope("lambdaDistributions").get()
val lambdaDistributionsResolvable = configurations.resolvable("lambdaDistributionsResolvable") {
    extendsFrom(lambdaDistributions)
}
dependencies {
    lambdaDistributions(project(mapOf(
        "path" to projects.jsLambdaFunctions.name,
        "configuration" to "distZips")))
}

…and something like this on the producer:

val distributionZips = configurations.consumable("distZips")

artifacts {
    add(distributionZips.name, distZip)
}

Is that the best pattern? Other patterns / plugins to improve this?

it is absolutely a lot. i have this in my project https://github.com/autonomousapps/dependency-analysis-gradle-plugin/tree/main/src/main/kotlin/com/autonomousapps/internal/artifacts

that’s excellent code, thank you for sharing - will help clean this up.
