The Gradle plugin allows you to upload any file to any repo type according to your requirements. Inclusive, you can use Gradle jobs to upload/download your desired artifacts to/from Artifactory; not only to a Maven repository, but any other that suits your needs. Following is an example of a build.gradle, which demonstrates both resolution and deployments (with a few dependencies):
buildscript {
repositories {
jcenter()
dependencies {
classpath(group: 'org.jfrog.buildinfo', name: 'build-info-extractor-gradle', version: '4+')
}
}
}
configurations {
generic {
description = 'generic'
}
}
task copyDependencies(type: Copy) {
from configurations.generic
into "resolved"
}
dependencies {
generic "com.github.jnr:jffi:1.2.7@jar"
}
allprojects {
apply plugin: 'com.jfrog.artifactory'
group = 'org.jfrog.example.gradle'
version = "1.2"
status = "release"
}
configurations {
published
}
def f1 = file("to_deploy.txt")
def f2 = file("resolved/jffi-1.2.7.jar")
def f3 = file("patch-1.16.zip")
def f4 = file("php54-php-5.4.16-16.el6.centos.alt.x86-64.rpm")
artifacts {
published file: f1, name: f1.getName(), type: 'txt'
published file: f2, name: f2.getName(), type: 'jar'
published file: f3, name: f3.getName(), type: 'zip'
published file: f4, name: f4.getName(), type: 'rpm'
}
task resolve << {
configurations.generic.files
}
artifactory {
contextUrl = 'http://localhost:8080/artifactory'
publish {
repository {
repoKey = 'generic-local'
username = "admin"
password = "password"
}
defaults {
publishConfigs('published')
}
}
resolve {
repository {
repoKey = 'maven-remote'
username = "admin"
password = "password"
}
}
}
task wrapper(type: Wrapper) {
gradleVersion = '2.0'
}
In the example below, the .jar file will be resolved through a remote repository and the other artifacts will be deployed from the local env to a generic repository (generic-local). When you run the job, you should expect the following client response:
> Configure project :
The Task.leftShift(Closure) method has been deprecated and is scheduled to be removed in Gradle 5.0. Please use Task.doLast(Action) instead.

Cannot publish Ivy descriptor if ivyDescriptor not set in task 'archives' and no ':' configuration exists in project '{}'.
Cannot publish pom for project ':' since it does not contain the Maven plugin install task and task ':artifactoryPublish' does not specify a custom pom path.
