How to Deploy my Open Source Projects using Maven's Central Repository? [closed]

Answer 1

Have you taken a look at the Guide to uploading artifacts to the Central Repository?

Answer 2

Have a look at this blog post: http://www.yegor256.com/2014/08/19/how-to-release-to-maven-central.html

It explains how you can configure your project once and deploy to Maven Central in a single click. Rultor.com, a DevOps assistant is involved, and it's free for both commercial and open source projects.

Answer 3

As Domi mentiones, the easiest way is to use Sonatype's free hosting because to get your artifacts to Maven Central you must first upload them to an "approved forge" - such as Sonatype.

I've written a short guide that describes how to get started with Sonatype whether you use Maven or not to build your OSS project. They have their own guide but it isn't as clear as it should, so I've added those missing bits to my post and I link to the original guide where appropriate.
