Publish a library to maven repositories

Question

I have a stable opensource library and was wondering how (and if) I can publish my lib to maven official repositories so people can include it in their pom.xml file

Answer 1

If you want reliable access for everyone out there, you need to stick with central. Due to the tendency of people at dev.java.net to break rules about the immutability of released artifacts, some people don't trust it. Further, it can be Very Slow.

To get your project into central, you need have your code in some public repo that they can sync from.
