I keep seeing apply plugin: 'maven' in build.gradle files for Java projects. What is the purpose of adding a Maven plugin? I can't seem to find the plugin when querying for it on plugins.gradle.org.

Why don't you just google it? http://sorcersoft.org/project/site/gradle/userguide/maven_plugin.html

"The Maven plugin adds support for deploying artifacts to Maven repositories."
