    apply plugin: "maven-publish"

    publishing {
      publications {
        maven(MavenPublication) {
          pom.withXml {
            asNode().appendNode('description', 'A demonstration of Maven POM customization')

Note that due to Gradle's internal type conversion system, you can pass a Groovy closure to this method and it will be automatically converted to an `Action`.

Each action/closure passed to this method will be stored as a callback, and executed when the publication that this descriptor is attached to is published.

For details on the structure of the XML to be modified, see the POM reference.
