going to Maven central

[Tommaso Teofili <to...@gmail.com>]

Hi all,
since we are talking about graduation I think that another thing we need to
leverage is the availability of UIMA packages on Maven central.
As far as I know there some constraints we should respect to reach this, for
example being independent from other external repos.
What do you think?
Cheers.
Tommaso

Yep, you can either use
http://people.apache.org/repo/m2-ibiblio-rsync-repository/ or the new
Nexus repository server at https://repository.apache.org/. The
repository server is quite handy for Maven-based projects, but
starting to use it requires some work.

It's an external repository, but nowadays also incubating projects can
deploy their releases to Maven central, so there shouldn't be much
need to keep using m2-incubating-repository.

For the common practices to upload an artifact to Maven Central:
http://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-central-repository-upload.html

I read that our Apache repo gets synchronized with Central so we hopefully
only need to deploy it on our repo and it will automatically will get to
Central.
However I don't know if the

http://people.apache.org/repo/m2-incubating-repository/

is considered external or not (it's said to be accepted as synced but if
everything outside Central is considered external the answer is yes) though
I wonder if that repo can stay inside the POM.

Cheers.

I am in favor of updating things to better follow Maven conventions and
constraints. 
Can you say more specifically what needs changing?
Do our POMs currently have dependencies to other external repos?
