jmockit in Maven Central

[stug23 <pa...@gmail.com>]

I spotted this post over in the jmockit issues page:

http://code.google.com/p/jmockit/issues/detail?id=172

They seem to feel it's too hard to get artifacts into Maven Central. 

Can anyone here comment on this?

Thanks

There is a well documented 10-step process that 2000 other projects have been able to follow. The process[1] could probably be improved further, possibly some IDE integration or a small webapp to help, but I don't think you can categorize the current process as complicated. The process takes 30 minutes to setup and test and after that it's a matter of staging and promoting the artifacts.

There are also no comments in the issue[2] that elaborate on what might be too complicated, so we can't even use it as an opportunity to improve the process. It appears to me this guy just didn't even attempt to try, and that's his prerogative. If you read the process and it's complicated Juven is receptive to making improvements in documentation and tooling. If you think it's not complicated then you can lend the JMockit developer a hand. It appeared from the issue[2] that  he is happy for someone else to do the requisite work. So if you want the library in central then as a user with a vested interest you can make that happen.
