In this chapter, you learned how to use the new and developing maven-publish plugin. You saw how you can declare your publications with the publications configuration block. Gradle will automatically create new tasks based on what you declared as publications.

You also learned how to customize the POM file that is generated by the Gradle publishing tasks.

Finally, you saw how you can configure Maven repositories so you can deploy your publications to them. We configured a local directory, which could also be a network share, and showed you how to configure an Artifactory or Nexus repository manager.
