Although 0.5-beta-1 is supposed to have been released to fix this, there is no sign of the release anywhere in maven repositories on github or elsewhere.

This looks like a duplicate of #16 to me. Have you tried adding the github repository to your build script repositories as it is described in the readme?

[ari]

Actually I added it to my nexus repository. But you are right... I see it here: https://github.com/ben-manes/gradle-versions-plugin/tree/mvnrepo/com/github/ben-manes/gradle-versions-plugin/0.5-beta-1

Must be my config somewhere... please close.

[jochenberger]

@aalmiray please try with 0.5-beta-1 and report back if that doesn't fix your issue.

[ari]

I see why... your maven "repository" is missing all the index files. You may wish to investigate https://docs.sonatype.org/display/Repository/Sonatype+OSS+Maven+Repository+Usage+Guide for publishing your artifacts. I use it for my own open source projects and it is really easy once you have it set up.

[jochenberger]

The github repository is just a temporary workaround until 0.5 is released, which - unfortunately - I cannot do because I am not the project owner and have just stepped in. Please don't ask me for an ETA though, I wouldn't know.

[ari]

Oh, ok. Sonatype are happy to accept betas...

Anyhow, I've gone and forked this for my own use and uploaded it to a private repository. All looking good. Thanks.

I suggest you to consider publishing binaries to Bintray (as noted in #23). The advantage is that you can push as many types of binaries (beta, alpha, snapshot, final, etc) as a developer you're in charge of what you push. There's also an option to link your binaries to JCenter and Maven Central.
