[FIXED] Publish a jar file to GitLab package repository

Issue

I have a scala project, and using SBT I was able to generate a jar file out of it.

My next challenge is to to publish the generated jar file into Gitlab's package repository so I can reference this jar file (module) in another scala project. I found several resources for that, using MAVEN or SBT .. but not sure how do I start, because I'm new to it and I'm a bit lost. Is it possible to publish the file using SBT as well?

Reference 1: I'm lost in between GRADLE and MAVEN

Reference 2: I'm lost with this, because It's not clear to me how to achieve it and what is the relation in between the maven repository and the jar file.

Any simple guidance/clarification is greatly appreciated.

Solution

You should look at the SBT way of publishing: https://www.scala-sbt.org/1.x/docs/Publishing.html

And then adapt the "repository URL" to be the one of your Gitlab. And follow Gitlab documentation of any specific configuration must be defined.
