Bingo, precisely Pei -- Central is phasing out custom artifact repos, so best to work with the community to upload to Central.
First, I would send an email to their dev list though, ask them if they are OK with you publishing the jar for them. Note, I had to do this with the NCAR NetCDF-4-Java library for Tika: http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/tika-dev/201004.mbox/%3CC7E89009.1 042b%[email protected]%3E If the community doesn't respond, then you may consider publishing the Jar as a "fork" under a different namespace in order to play nicely with the community, and since BSD doesn't prevent that.
