Unable to Upload README.md When Publishing Java to GitHub Maven Registry

Question

Body

After successfully building my Java packages from my C++ code, I executed the gradlew publish command to the GitHub Maven registry. The packages were published; however, they lacked descriptions. I am in need of a way to upload my README.md as the package description. Is there a method to accomplish this? Can I specify the README.md within the build.gradle file, or does the system recognize a different filename, meaning I must rename my README.md?

Add the following to your build.gradle file:

publishing {
    publications {
        maven(MavenPublication) {
            // other configuration
            pom {
                description = file("README.md").text
            }
        }
    }
}

@arafajs Thank you for your response. I tried and the package was published, but without the README.md.
This is my build.gradle file url

When I write just a string in description, it still doesn't publish. Here is the link to my package.
Package_URL
