Maven Central Repository Deployment

In order to deploy to Maven central an account on Sonatype must be created with privileges to push to the org.ga4gh domain.

This can be acquired by opening a ticket on Sonatype and requesting permission via a person in a position to grant it.

An example ticket below. https://issues.sonatype.org/browse/OSSRH-34681?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels%3Aall-tabpanel

When this is acquired then:

• Generate a public key and place it on a key server such as pgp.mit.edu

• Encrypt your sonnatype password command (mvn --encrypt-master-password)

• Edit settings.xml in the project to match your account.

<settings>
  <servers>
    <server>
      <id>ossrh</id>
      <username>your_sonatype_user</username>
      <password>your_encrypted_password</password>
      <url>https://oss.sonatype.org/</url>
    </server>
  </servers>
    <profiles>
      <profile>
        <id>ossrh</id>
        <activation>
          <activeByDefault>true</activeByDefault>
        </activation>
        <properties>
          <gpg.executable>gpg2</gpg.executable>
          <gpg.passphrase>your_key_pass_phrase</gpg.passphrase>
        </properties>
      </profile>
    </profiles>
</settings>

• Deploy with mvn deploy --settings settings.xml (where settings.xml is the path to your setting.xml)
