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.
