Maven central submit process

EMI java APIs should be available on the Maven Central repository. We expect all EMI-maintained java APIs to be available on Maven Central by the end of the project (i.e. the release of EMI 3).

In order to upload artifacts on the Maven Central repository, a well defined process must be followed.

This process mandates rules for:

• the POM structure https://docs.sonatype.org/display/Repository/Central+Sync+Requirements

• the coordinates chosen for the artifacts https://docs.sonatype.org/display/Repository/Choosing+your+Coordinates

All the requirements and instructions on how artifacts can be uploaded to maven central can be found at the following URL:

http://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-central-repository-upload.html

EMI requirements

The version of artifacts uploaded in Maven central MUST be aligned with the version of the packages distributed in EMI. This means that version of packages on Maven central is always lower than or equal to the version distributed by EMI.

PTs can manage the submissions to Maven central at their own pace, ensuring that the above constraints are not violated.
