You can address the publication by its name on the publications container.E.g. in Kotlin DSL:

publishing {
    publications.getByName<MavenPublication>("pluginMaven") { 
       // ...
    }
}

That said, you can also configure the coordinates the same as in any project:

project.group

and

project.version

in your

build.gradle{,.kts}

, and

rootProject.name

in your

settings.gradle{,.kts}

.

Thanks! That gets me what I needed. My actual case is, I have the plugin name as the

rootProject.name

, but my plugin is in a subproject, but I want to publish it with the

rootProject.name

artifact ID without altering the project name of the subproject. If there is a cleaner way to do that (plugin in subproject, but root project named with plugin name) let me know. 🙂

It would be cleaner if the subproject name and the artifact ID are the same. Internally, Gradle uses the subproject name as and “identity” and that cannot be changed. If this is only about the folder name the project is in, you can change the folder of the project `

include('project-name-that-is-the-artifact-id')
project(':project-name-that-is-the-artifact-id').projectDir = file("the-other-name")
