## What it is
A Gradle plugin that made it easy to publish Android library projects to Maven repositories. It has been abandoned because this functionality is now built into the official Android Gradle plugin's maven-publish support.

## Use cases
- publish android library to maven central
- generate pom file for android aar library
- upload android library to jcenter or nexus
- gradle plugin to package android library as maven artifact

## When to choose
- maintaining a legacy Android build that already depends on this plugin
- working on an old project that cannot upgrade to a modern Android Gradle plugin version

## When to avoid
- starting a new Android library project
- using a recent Android Gradle plugin version, which includes built-in maven-publish support
- you need ongoing maintenance or bug fixes

## Facets
- artifact type: plugin
- maturity: abandoned
- function: build-tool, package-manager
- domain: android-tools, developer-tools, mobile-development
- platform: jvm
- tags: gradle-plugin, maven-publish, android-library, deprecated, android, gradle
