I have a Maven plugin that I want to share with outside world. Is there an official Maven repository I can deploy this plugin too ? What are the steps involved ?

Any links to documentation much appreciated

I've been reading http://www.sonatype.com/people/2008/11/adding-a-jar-to-a-maven-repository-with-sonatype-nexus/ but this just seems to describe deploying to internal Nexus repository, wheras I want to deploy to an external repo so any user can use it.

I would recommend:

The bit with the request will take around up to a day normally and then you'll be able to publish your code directly to Maven Central.

  • May I know what your plugin is for? :) – carlspring Apr 09 '13 at 09:42
  • it finds the information for a jar file instead of user manually searching for the dependency via search.maven.org – blue-sky Apr 09 '13 at 14:06
  • Interesting! Perhaps you would also like to share a link to the project...? – carlspring Apr 09 '13 at 14:22
  • thanks for your interest, I'll forward you a link once its hosted. which procedure should I follow to release this plugin : http://mojo.codehaus.org/development/performing-a-release.html#Preparing_to_Release or https://docs.sonatype.org/display/Repository/Sonatype+OSS+Maven+Repository+Usage+Guide ? – blue-sky Apr 09 '13 at 14:52

    The Sonatype one, as the other one seems to illustrate things, if you are releasing a new Codehaus project (which you are not doing). – carlspring Apr 09 '13 at 16:47
  • ok cool, I'll contact you via SO when its open sourced, thanks! – blue-sky Apr 09 '13 at 17:39
