rangareddy opened a new issue, #870: URL: https://github.com/apache/incubator-xtable/issues/870
### Describe the request On the [Downloads page](https://xtable.apache.org/releases/downloads) (`website/releases/downloads.mdx`), each release currently lists only: - **Source Release** (`.src.tgz` with `.asc` / `.sha512`) - **Release Notes** - **Maven Search** link (to central.sonatype.com) There is **no direct path/link to the XTable artifact (binary) jars**. Users who just want the built jars — especially the runnable bundled utilities jar — have to go through Maven search and navigate to find them. ### Proposal Under **each release** on the Downloads page, add the path/links to the published XTable artifact jars (convenience binaries on Maven Central), e.g.: - The Maven Central directory for the release, e.g. `https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/apache/xtable/` - The runnable bundled CLI jar, e.g. `https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/apache/xtable/xtable-utilities_2.12/<version>/xtable-utilities_2.12-<version>-bundled.jar` - (optionally) the other published artifacts: `xtable-api`, `xtable-core_2.12`, `xtable-hudi-support-utils`, etc. Example for `0.3.0-incubating`: ``` ### Release 0.3.0-incubating * Source Release: ... (unchanged) * Binary Artifacts: [Maven Central](https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/apache/xtable/) — bundled CLI: [xtable-utilities_2.12-0.3.0-incubating-bundled.jar](https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/apache/xtable/xtable-utilities_2.12/0.3.0-incubating/xtable-utilities_2.12-0.3.0-incubating-bundled.jar) * Release Notes: ... (unchanged) * Maven Search: ... (unchanged) ``` ### Notes - The official ASF release remains the **source** release; the jars are convenience binaries published to Maven Central, which is acceptable to link from the Downloads page (as many ASF projects do). - Keep the source-release link and signatures/checksums prominent; the artifact-jar links are an addition, not a replacement. - This should be applied consistently to each release entry (0.2.0-incubating, 0.3.0-incubating, and future releases), and ideally documented in the release process so new releases include the artifact-jar links. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
