maven-oss-parent NOT MAINTAINED ANYMORE

Know how to upload to maven central

Description

Maven oss parent pom helps open source projects to deploy and release Maven repositories to maven central (https://central.sonatype.org) Since the official support is from oss-parent is deprecated. This pom creates a release profile which will:

• compile (optional - default=on)
• find duplicate imports (optional - default=on)
• generate test report (jacoco - optional - default=on)
• generate sources
• generate javadocs
• generate gpg signed files
• tag project version
• upload to sonatype nexus
• deploy to sonatype nexus
• release to sonatype nexus

Attention

You should read Maven Central Terms before using this repository and deploy anything. You wont be able to rename or delete any pushed repository.

Usage

• Call mvn clean deploy -P release after setup the parent to deploy and release your project to maven central
• The repository will be uploaded, deployed, released and central sync activated on Sonatype Nexus
• The repository will be published to Maven Central, typically within 10 minutes, though updates to Maven Central can take up to two hours.
• There is no formal relationship between Maven Central and MVN-Repository, there is no know how for frequency or accuracy of their updates. (I will update this after MVN-Repository respond in the next century)
