How to publish, consume, and stage artifacts to Sonatype Nexus Repository from Gradle

Last week when we published a Gradle-specific evaluation guide for Nexus Professional (now known as Sonatype Nexus Repository) I failed to mention that Gradle also works well with Sonatype Nexus Repository. Here are some simple Knowledge Base entries from our Support portal that put the details into how to publish and consume artifacts using Gradle and Sonatype Nexus Repository:

• How do I configure my Gradle build to publish artifacts to Sonatype Nexus Repository?
• How do I configure my Gradle build to download artifacts from Sonatype Nexus Repository?
• How do I stage artifacts to a Nexus Staging Profile from a Gradle build?
