Building Kafka from source and publishing to Maven

[Jaikiran Pai]

I am trying to build Kafka 0.10 branch from source to get a SSL fix and 
use it for our internal tests. In order to use it internally in our 
application, we'll need these built artifacts to be published to our 
internal Maven repo (backed by Nexus). I build instructions in README.md 
says this:

### Publishing the jar for all version of Scala and for all projects to 
maven ###
    ./gradlew uploadArchivesAll
Please note for this to work you should create/update 
`~/.gradle/gradle.properties` and assign the following variables

    mavenUrl=
    mavenUsername=
    mavenPassword=
    signing.keyId=
    signing.password=
    signing.secretKeyRingFile=


I'm skipping signing of the artifacts and the command I use is:

./gradlew -PscalaVersion=2.11 uploadArchivesAll -x signArchives

My gradle.properties in ~/.gradle folder looks like:

mavenUrl=http://<IP>:<port>/content/repositories/snapshots
mavenUsername=name
mavenPassword=pass


This fails during the upload of archives during the build (the command 
that I pasted above):

.....
:kafka:core:uploadArchives FAILED
:uploadCoreArchives_2_10 FAILED

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':core:uploadArchives'.
> Could not publish configuration 'archives'
   > Failed to deploy artifacts/metadata: No connector available to 
access repository remote () of type default using the available 
factories WagonRepositoryConnectorFactory



Is my mavenUrl property wrong or is something else wrong? Could one of 
you who has successfully uploaded this, help me understand how to do it 
and what the mavenUrl should point to?
