   - apply [Maven Publish](https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/publishing_maven.html) plugin, and configure LAA CCMS repositories and credential resolution for local development and pipelines. For publishing, the repository name can be overridden by setting the `repositoryName` property in your `gradle.properties`. This is helpful when your repository name is different from your project name.
   - apply [Gradle Release](https://github.com/researchgate/gradle-release) plugin, and define a release tag format.
