Hi Robert, I can help a little here. Check out this guide:
http://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-central-repository-upload.html The long and the short of it is that there are several canonical Maven repos that are sync'ed to Ibiblio and Maven central. Apache has one (through repository.apache.org), and other organizations have em' too. In Tika, we simply inherit from the top level Apache POM and the Maven release plugin takes care of the rest. I'm not sure how to do this with Ant, but am sure it can be done (and it might be aided by Ivy). If you are just doing it when you release, which doesn't happen that often, then you could consider just creating a Ticket and uploading the release jars through the Sonatype JIRA process, located here: http://nexus.sonatype.org/oss-repository-hosting.html Guide is here: https://docs.sonatype.org/display/repository/sonatype+oss+maven+repository+usage+guide Hope that helps!

I'm not sure how complicated actually upload artifacts is, although just browsing other projects, getting maven releases out isn't exactly a walk in the park. but theres two steps right? 1. generating the actual artifacts and verifying they are correct 2. uploading the artifacts (e.g. commit or whatever it takes to do that) Why exactly does it require a committer to upload maven artifacts (they must be to an apache.org <http://apache.org> location?) ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Chris Mattmann, Ph.D. Senior Computer Scientist NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory Pasadena, CA 91109 USA Office: 171-266B, Mailstop: 171-246 Email: chris.mattm...@jpl.nasa.gov WWW: http://sunset.usc.edu/~mattmann/ ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Adjunct Assistant Professor, Computer Science Department University of Southern California, Los Angeles, CA 90089 USA ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
