Get into maven central

[Techcable]

In order to get into maven central, we have to meat certain requirements.

• [ ] Supply javadocs and sources
• [ ] Sign Files with GPG/PGP
  • GPG is da best
• 'Sufficient Metadata'
  • [x] Correct Coordinates
    • We already do this 😁
  • [x] Project Name, Description and URL
  • [x] License Information
    • We should also add a maven plugin that adds a license header to each file
  • [x] Developer Information
  • [x] SCM Information

After, we do all this it seems pretty simple to get into maven central. We just have to create a ticket on Sonatype's JIRA to 'trigger creation of our repositories'. They claim this normally takes less than two business days. Then I have to 'release the deployment' to the central repository.

This is all very complicated, and I wish we could just hug each other instead of going through this process.
