Project Structure

At the root level, the project contains libarary folder where all the library code lives and aconventio-plugins folder with two plugin files, one for the root folder and one for the module folder.

Getting Rid Of Nexus Publishing

In convention-plugins/build.gradle.kts we make the dependencies empty as well root.publication.gradle.kts we empty the plugins remove the nexusPublishing task. This also means that we have unused entries in gradle/libs.versions.toml and we remove the corresponding entries from the versions and libraries section.

Adding JFrog Artifactory

In gradle/libs.versions.toml we add jfrog-artifactory

[versions]
jfrog = "5.+"
# Other versions

[libraries]
jfrog-artifactory = { module = "com.jfrog.artifactory:com.jfrog.artifactory.gradle.plugin", version.ref = "jfrog" }
# Other libaries

[plugins]
# Other plugins

Once we add that we need to add the jfrog-artifactoryas a dependency for the convention-plugins/build.gradle.kts

dependencies {
    implementation(libs.jfrog.artifactory)
}

We can now add the plugin in module.publication.gradle.kts

plugins {
    `maven-publish`
    signing
    id("com.jfrog.artifactory")
}

This now allows us to add artifactory task in the same file module.publication.gradle.kts

artifactory {
    setContextUrl(project.findProperty("artifactory_contextUrl") as String)
    publish {
        repository {
            setRepoKey(project.findProperty("artifactory_snapshot_repo") as String)
            setUsername(project.findProperty("artifactory_user") as String)
            setPassword(project.findProperty("artifactory_password") as String)
        }
        defaults {
            publications("kotlinMultiplatform", "androidRelease", "jvm")
            setPublishArtifacts(true)
        }
    }
}

NOTE: I have set all the property values in ~/.gradle/gradle.properties

artifactory_user=dummyUser
artifactory_password=dummyPassword
artifactory_contextUrl=https://dummUrl/dummyPath
artifactory_snapshot_repo=dummy-snapshot-repo-key

One last thing in gradle.properties we need to disable configuration-cache

org.gradle.configuration-cache=false

Conclusion

The full source code can be accessed from the jfrog-artifactory branch in my fork and the diff can be accessed from the merged pull request. Thank you for reading.
