Hello Ivan,

A publishing of artefact in one of Maven repositories would be nice for most consumers,
Can I help to resolve this task?

@iryndin i'm using this with osmdroid as a utility to help read metadata for esra shape files. I'd like to just use it as a dependency but since it's not published that isn't currently an option.

• I can publish this to central under a different group id, would you be ok with this?
• I can roll the relevant code into our repo and link back to this one. I don't really want to maintain this though so I'd rather not do this.
• I can help you get setup to publish this to sonatype (which syncs to central, jcenter and everything else).

Can we get this rolling? Thoughts on this?

One option could be.
Use Git hub as Maven Repo.

got tired of waiting, just published today's master to central as version 2.2.0, if anyone cares

Using JitPack would also work—it takes the source code of the dependency from the repo and builds it on the fly. Be aware that identifiers change:

• groupId is com.github.iryndin (if you are doing this for your own project and have your own domain, you can add a TXT record with the URL of your Github profile, then use your reverse domain name)
• artifactId is the name of the repo (luckily both match in this case)
• version must be a valid git ref, i.e. a branch, tag or hash. If you use a branch name, appending -SNAPSHOT will ensure you always get the latest version of that branch. So, for latest master, use master-SNAPSHOT. To get master as of this writing, use bb9f01c. (For your own project, you can add a tag matching the version name every time you release a new version.)

In a nutshell, add the following to your <project> (merging <repositories> and <dependencies> as needed):

  <repositories>
    <repository>
      <id>jitpack.io</id>
      <name>JitPack Repository</name>
      <url>https://jitpack.io</url>
    </repository>
  </repositories>
  <dependencies>
    <dependency>
      <groupId>com.github.iryndin</groupId>
      <artifactId>jdbf</artifactId>
      <version>bb9f01c</version>
    </dependency>
  </dependencies>
