Publish to Maven Central

[Flowdalic]

Judging from the project's build.gradle, java-tree-sitter was only published to bintray, which got closed down a few months ago. Please consider publishing the artifcats to Maven Central for easy consumption. Thanks.

Any update on this?

@tmacwill: would it help if I contributed a github actions workflow for releasing to central?

I thinks its a good idea to explore Project Panama native APIs instead of this library as its Panama seems to be quite easy to work with & we dont have to handwrite code to work with native APIs (also helps us in keeping ourselves upto date with latest version of libraries).

I think that publishing is one thing and native improvements is another. It seems to me that there are 1uite a few people that would like to use the project as is and are blocked by the lack of publicly artifacts.

sure, happy to review a PR for a github action to release to central. fwiw, I've been using jitpack:

allprojects {
    repositories {
        maven { 
            url 'https://jitpack.io'
        }
    }
}

dependencies {
    implementation "com.github.serenadeai:java-tree-sitter:1.1.2"
}

I can also add this to the README in the meantime, so it's clear how to use this package without installing from source.
