## What it is
A Gradle plugin that simplifies publishing Android, Java, and Groovy library artifacts to Bintray/JCenter. It automates Maven and Bintray configuration via a simple publish closure.

## Use cases
- publish android library to bintray from gradle
- automate maven artifact publishing with gradle
- release java library to jcenter
- simplify gradle publish configuration for android library
- upload gradle build artifacts to bintray

## When to choose
- you maintain a legacy project already publishing to Bintray/JCenter
- you need a minimal-config Gradle plugin for old Bintray publishing workflows

## When to avoid
- starting a new project - Bintray/JCenter was shut down in 2021
- you need active support or modern publishing targets like Maven Central
- you use Gradle versions beyond what the plugin supports

## Facets
- artifact type: plugin
- maturity: abandoned
- function: deployment, build-tool, developer-tools
- domain: developer-tools, mobile-development
- platform: jvm, cli
- tags: gradle-plugin, bintray, maven-publish, android, groovy, deprecated, release-automation, automation
