"publishing" Extension

The plugin creates a "publishing" extension of type PublishingExtension. This extension provides a container of named publications and a container of named repositories.

publishing {
  publications {
    myPublicationName(MavenPublication) {
      // Configure the publication here
    }
  }
}

repositories {
    maven {
        url "${url}"
        authentication {
            basic(BasicAuthentication)
        }
    }
}

Publications are published to repositories via tasks and the configuration of the publication object determines exactly what is published.
