Can I update Nexus Maven "LATEST" metadata without a scheduled task? -

i'm running nexus , have snapshots maven repository. when publish artifacts repository run "rebuild maven metadata files" type task runs 5 minutes , updates "latest" point newest artifacts. can update latest reference other way? publish gradle. can gradle update specific groups metadata?

thanks

the maven metadata file not managed nexus client side tool. default maven , downloads metadata file part of deployment, updates new snapshot data , uploads again.

potentially gradle not correctly , reason have use workaround of using nexus scheduled task. don't think gradle has further tools fix better. thing can think of kick off scheduled task gradle automatically. still have timing problem.

best file bug against gradle , fixed.
