You can use this action in your workflows. Here's an example of how to use it:

name: Build and Publish

on:
  workflow_dispatch:

jobs:
  build-and-publish:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - name: Use Maven publish action
        uses: RiV-chain/github-publish-maven-action@main
        with:
          gh_pat: ${{ secrets.PAT }}
          artifact_repo: 'RiV-chain/artifact'
          gradle_file_path: './gradlew'
          java_version: '8'
          distribution: 'adopt'

1. Add following lines in build.gradle build script:

publishing {
    repositories {
        mavenLocal()
    }
    publications {
        gpr(MavenPublication) {
            from(components.java)
        }
    }
}

2. Register secret.PAT with permission for you Maven repo and replace the path it in artifact_repo parameter.

3. Add your repo URL in build.gradle. Your Maven repo will have path https://github.com/<username>/<repo>/raw/<branch>. Example repo.

    repositories {
        maven {
            url "https://github.com/RiV-chain/artifact/raw/main"
        }
    }
