feat(publish): publish to Maven Central in addition to GitHub Packages - #8
Conversation
- Apply signing + gradle-nexus-publish-plugin - Emit sources/javadoc jars and add license URL (Central requirements) - Add in-memory PGP signing gated on env/property presence so local publishToMavenLocal and GitHub-only publishes still work without a key - New CI step imports a GPG key from secret and runs publishToSonatype + closeAndReleaseSonatypeStagingRepository against s01.oss.sonatype.org - Document the new Central user token + GPG secrets

WARNING: The Import GPG key step is dead code and the --passphrase flag is a no-op here.
build.gradle(newsigning { useInMemoryPgpKeys(...) }block at line 81) signs via Gradle's in-memory PGP keyring, not GnuPG. Nothing in this workflow ever reads the GnuPG keyring, so the import has no effect on what gets published to either GitHub Packages or Maven Central.gpg --importdoes not decrypt the key, so--passphrase "$GPG_PASSPHRASE"is ignored. It can also leak the passphrase into GnuPG warning output if any warning is printed during import.- The inline comment ("never written to disk outside GnuPG's own keyring") makes a strong privacy guarantee that this step doesn't actually need to make, and that becomes misleading once the step is removed.
Suggestion: delete this step entirely. The SIGNING_KEY / SIGNING_PASSWORD env vars on the next step are sufficient for useInMemoryPgpKeys.

WARNING: The example signing.key=<armored PGP private key, including BEGIN/END lines> does not work in a .properties file: armored PGP keys are multi-line, and .properties is line-based. Even with \ line-continuation, the BEGIN/END armor markers interact badly with Properties.load() (the parser splits on = / : and handles backslash escapes in confusing ways across JVM versions). A contributor who follows these instructions verbatim will get a Gradle error like Cannot read signing key: ... with no obvious cause.
The comment on line 20 already says "or set the equivalent environment variables" — that route actually works because System.getenv('SIGNING_KEY') returns the raw multi-line string verbatim. Consider making the env-var route the primary recommendation and explicitly noting that the property form requires pre-processing (e.g. base64 encoding + a useInMemoryPgpKeys decoder) or that it is not supported for multi-line keys.

SUGGESTION: The Maven Central example hardcodes 0.3.1 here while the canonical version lives in build.gradle:9. Every release will leave this snippet stale until the README is updated in lockstep, and historically README version bumps lag build.gradle bumps. Consider replacing the version with a link to the GitHub releases page, a placeholder ('com.aaravlabs:synapse:<version>' with a note that <version> should match the latest release), or wiring a README update into the release workflow so they cannot drift.

OSSRH was sunset 2025-06-30. The gradle-nexus-publish-plugin v2.x dropped the top-level sonatypeHost property and expects the new staging URL: https://ossrh-staging-api.central.sonatype.com/service/local/ along with snapshotRepositoryUrl pointing at https://central.sonatype.com/repository/maven-snapshots/.

🌐 Web query:
gradle-nexus publish-plugin 2.0.0 closeAndReleaseSonatypeStagingRepositories release notes task name
💡 Result:
In the gradle-nexus/publish-plugin version 2.0.0, the task previously known as closeAndReleaseStagingRepository was renamed to closeAndReleaseStagingRepositories to improve consistency across the plugin's task naming conventions [1][2]. Regarding the specific task name mentioned in your query, closeAndReleaseSonatypeStagingRepositories (note the plural "Repositories"), the plugin generates repository-specific tasks based on your configuration [3][4]. If you have a repository configured with the name sonatype, the plugin will generate the following task: closeAndReleaseSonatypeStagingRepositories [3][4] Key details regarding task changes in 2.0.0: - Renaming: The legacy singular task closeAndReleaseStagingRepository was renamed to the plural closeAndReleaseStagingRepositories [1][2]. - Consistency: The plugin creates repository-specific tasks by appending the repository name to the task action (e.g., closeAndReleaseStagingRepositories) [3][4]. - Summary Tasks: New summary tasks, such as closeStagingRepositories, releaseStagingRepositories, and closeAndReleaseStagingRepositories, were introduced to manage multiple staging repositories simultaneously [1][5].

Use the Plugin 2.x release task name.
The configured sonatype repository uses Plugin 2.0.0, which provides closeAndReleaseSonatypeStagingRepositories. The singular task name cannot be resolved by Gradle.

- Remove dead `Import GPG key` step. Gradle's signing block uses
useInMemoryPgpKeys(SIGNING_KEY, SIGNING_PASSWORD) directly and never
reads the GnuPG keyring. Also, gpg --import does not decrypt keys so
--passphrase was a no-op.
- gradle.properties: armored PGP keys are multi-line and don't fit in a
.properties file. Recommend SIGNING_KEY env var; keep signing.password
(single-line) in the property example.
- README: replace hardcoded version 0.3.1 with <version> placeholder +
link to releases page. Update OSSRH s01.oss.sonatype.org reference to
the Sonatype Central staging API.
- Skip CodeRabbit finding on closeAndReleaseSonatypeStagingRepository
task name: per-repository tasks are registered with the singular
template `closeAndRelease${repo.capitalizedName}StagingRepository`
(NexusPublishPlugin.kt:192); the plural form is a separate summary
task.
