- Archiva is an open source repository manager that allows developers to deploy and share artifacts (code libraries). It supports tools like Maven and Gradle.
- The presentation demonstrates how to configure a Gradle Android project to publish an artifact (library) to an Archiva repository. This includes adding plugins, specifying credentials and repository URLs, and generating the Maven POM file.
- Once published, other projects can add the Archiva repository and use the library by including it as a dependency in their build files.
