* The set of available publication types is dependent on the application of particular plugins:
* <ul>
* <li>The {@link org.gradle.api.publish.maven.plugins.MavenPublishPlugin} makes it possible to create {@link org.gradle.api.publish.maven.MavenPublication} instances.</li>
* <li>The {@link org.gradle.api.publish.ivy.plugins.IvyPublishPlugin} makes it possible to create {@link org.gradle.api.publish.ivy.IvyPublication} instances.</li>

* <pre autoTested="true">
* apply plugin: 'ivy-publish'
*
* publishing.publications.create('publication-name', IvyPublication) {
* // Configure the ivy publication here
* }
* </pre>
*
* The usual way to add publications is via a configuration block.
* See the documentation for {@link PublishingExtension#publications(org.gradle.api.Action)} for examples of how to create and configure publications.
