Overview
A publication process that deploys Java library artifacts to the Apache Maven staging repository for community verification.
Description
Maven Artifact Publishing deploys the project's JAR files, POMs, and associated metadata to the Apache Maven staging repository at repository.apache.org. This makes the Java library artifacts available for downstream consumers to test before the release is finalized. The publish is performed via Gradle's publish task with signing configuration.
Usage
Use this principle after artifacts are built and signed. Maven publishing runs in parallel with SVN staging and enables Java ecosystem consumers to test the release candidate via Maven coordinates.
Theoretical Basis
The publishing follows Apache Maven conventions:
- Gradle Publish: Execute the Gradle publish task configured with signing and repository credentials.
- Staging Repository: Artifacts land in a staging repository at repository.apache.org where they can be inspected.
- Promotion: After the vote passes, the staging repository is promoted (closed and released) to make artifacts publicly available on Maven Central.
