Make available on Maven Central?

[johann-petrak]

Would it be possible to make this available on Maven Central since most Java projects nowadays are managed with a Maven-backed build system (Ivy, Maven, Gradle, sbt..)

I've been out of Java for a while now. Do you happen to a link to some documentation that describes how to publish it there?

Maybe helpful:

• the official sonatype documentation: http://central.sonatype.org/pages/ossrh-guide.html
• the maven documentation: https://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-central-repository-upload.html
• blog post about this: http://www.sonatype.org/nexus/2015/01/08/deploy-to-maven-central-repository/

The main steps are:

• decide on the maven coordinates to use, e.g. com.pagosoft for organization and pgslookandfeel for the artifact id
• submit a Jira ticket to get them accepted
• setup the build so that all the requirements are fulfilled
• setup GPG for signing your jars
• ideally do automatic to Maven central as part of a release build
