destinationDir

archiveName

String

The name of the generated archive file. If `archiveName` has not been explicitly set, the pattern for the name is: [baseName]-[appendix]-[version]-[classifier].[extension]

baseName

String

project.name

The first part of the archive name. Usually indicates the prpject it belongs to.

appendix

String

The second part of the archive name. Often used if a project creates multiple archives, where the baseName indicates the project and the appendix indicates the content (e.g. gradle-docs)

version

String

project.version

The third part of the archive name. Usually indicating the version of the jar.

classifier

String

The 4rd part of the archive name. Similar in its usage to appendix but shows up in the name at a different position. Such a naming pattern is required by Maven if you want to publish multiple artifacts into the same directory in the repository. A typical use case are source and javadoc jars in a Maven repository.

extension

jar

The extension of the generated archive file.

manifest
