publish library

GIT-425 publish library

[luiisca]

docs: https://central.sonatype.org/register/central-portal/
their docs are confusing but apparentely there are two main ways to publish my library: via maven central portal (https://central.sonatype.org/publish-ea/publish-ea-guide/) and via the legacy OSSRH (https://central.sonatype.org/publish/publish-guide/).
Maven central seems to be the recommended one.

some requirements: https://central.sonatype.org/publish/requirements/

• jar files
• checksums (.md5 and .sha1) for each file
• PGP/GPG signature (.asc) for each file
• pom file for metadata
  • example: https://github.com/simpligility/ossrh-demo/tree/master
  • (further sections in the docs describe different sections of this .pom file)

these docs are quite confusing

I've chosen publishing via maven central portal, but apparently there are four ways to publish this way: Maven, Publisher API, Uploading a bundle and Gradle, but I only consider Maven and uploading a bundle since publisher API teaches how to build a client to send your files, and gradle is not official.

I'll use the Gradle Maven Publish Plugin
