Hackety hack to publish jars to a directory inside a Hyperledger Fabric smart contract

chaincode-init.gradle

/*
 * This gradle init script can be used to publish jars to a repository folder
 * inside a Fabric contract project. For example, in the `fabric-chaincode-java` project:
 *
 *   ./gradlew -I ~/chaincode-init.gradle -PchaincodeRepoDir=<chaincode_dir>/repository publishShimJarPublicationToFabricRepository publishProtosJarPublicationToFabricRepository
 *
 * Where <chaincode_dir> is the chaincode location containing your contract!
 *
 * Fabric contract projects can then use jars from the bundled maven repository
 * during the Fabric instantiation process by adding the following repository
 * to their build.gradle file:
 *
 *   maven {
 *     url "$projectDir/repository"
 *   }
 *
 * Note: this should be placed before other repositories which might contain
 *       the jars you published
 *
