🚀 [GSoC / Maven Central Utility Plugins for Gradle] Version 0.1.7 Released! 🚀
Hello everyone!
I’d like to introduce a Gradle plugin I developed during the GSoC project.
This plugin helps you manage Maven POM metadata more easily and efficiently, making artifact signing, POM validation, and hierarchical POM configuration much simpler.

Main features:
• Define a POM in the root project and manage it hierarchically
• Artifact signature verification
• POM validation
• Automated checks for required fields
In this release (v0.1.7), we’ve:
• Fixed issues related to the license field
• Redefined required fields
• Completed the documentation
You can check the updates and download the latest plugin here:

• Release notes: https://github.com/YongGoose/Maven-Central-utility-plugins-for-Gradle/releases/tag/v0.1.7
For usage instructions, you can refer to the docs directory for a simple guide:

I’d really appreciate it if you could try it out and share your feedback!
Special thanks to my mentor @Oleg Nenashev for continuous guidance and support throughout the project 🙏
