How to Publish a Java Library to Maven Central

Overview of releasing a Java Maven project to Maven Central to share it with the rest of the world.
There are a few extra steps compared to NPM, but at least you can't release the same version twice :D
We will be using OSS Repository Hosting(OSSRH) provided by Sonatype and based on Nexus Repository Manager to deploy our artifact.
Apache Maven Instructions:
maven.apache.o...
OSSHR Instructions:
central.sonatyp...
Example project from video:

Thank you so much!
One thing to note for others:
The GPG plugin did not work at first, until I replaced the gpg2 with gpg in my settings.xml, so just removed the 2. Hope this helps somebody.

For future readers: If you get the Error 403 you should create a Task type issue in OSSRH Jira so they can update your permissions on server-side.

Amazing video my friend!!! Thank you!

[@mahmoudfathi4236]

Great tutorial. Thanks!

[@GonzaloMendoza524]

Hello, thanks for the video. I follow those steps, but I can't see my artifact released at Maven, only in Sonatype.

[@recursive532]

You could try following these instructions: central.sonatype.org/pages/releasing-the-deployment.html
Worth mentioning that "Upon release, your component will be published to Central: this typically occurs within 10 minutes, though updates to search can take up to two hours."

[@amirm7373]

It is a really good explanation. Thanks

[@karolfurtak4430]

What if my library contains another external library?
What should I write into Pom file?

[@GeorgeFelixBarbosa]

Thank man!!! what happened if the git repository is private? or if we are using a private bitbucket repo?

[@wasankar_]

awesome 👍. thanks a lot.
Just one thing, how can we skip the gcp signing and release to maven while doing mav verify for travis

[@ssegu1617]

Hi, Thanks for the video. I have published a jar file in Maven central but it doesn't have any Java classes. Anyone can help or guide me on how to solve this issue?

[@rezayaghoubiemami8371]

Really helpful video! Thanks!

[@White_King]

You should've mention the passphrase! :D (totally forgot about it when we got to the maven config section and there is no way to get back! :D )

[@erickloningo2252]

Awesome explanation. Thanks alot

[@bigyansahoo819]

Can you share settings.xml file. I am getting this error (Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-gpg-plugin:1.5:sign (sign-artifacts) on project TestArithmetic: Exit code: 1 -> [Help 1]).

[@markmark9268]

Hi. It's a nice tutorial :) At 3:23 there is a DnD area which allowing not to use the desktop maven utility but upload (deploy) library as soon as the ticket is created? Comment please

What was wrong with the credentials? I am sure i put the correct credentials ant i get this error too (401 Unauthorized)

[@DanHowardMtl]

I migrated from sourceforge a long time ago. Does the group ID have to match the package names? I kept net.sf as a package name. I don't want to have to change that...
