  \brief Provides an interface for creating wizards to publish a project.

  A class implementing this interface is used to create an associated wizard
  that allows users to publish their project to a remote facility, e.g. an
  app store.
  Such a wizard would typically transform the project's content into
  a form expected by that facility ("packaging") and also upload it, if possible.

  The factory objects have to be added to the global object pool via
  \c ExtensionSystem::PluginManager::addObject().
  \sa ExtensionSystem::PluginManager::addObject()
