LWJGL 2.8 is now in Maven Central, with coordinates of "org.lwjgl.lwjgl" % "lwjgl" % "2.8.1" (yes, the groupid has lwjgl twice). Natives are now a smidge trickier, since they're all packaged in an artifact named "lwjgl-platform", but with a different classifier per platform. The same thing is done for jinput and its native deps. It's probably easier to just look at the POMs than to explain it.
