GitHub and Maven Central

[sreilly]

Original report by me.

---

Is anybody (especially the infinitekind owners) interested in putting this up on GitHub and/or releasing official builds via Maven Central?

[sreilly]

Getting this from Maven Central would be really sweet. I would also suggest to make nightly builds available through maven.

I much prefer Bitbucket to GitHub and see no reason to put on both.
But would be very good if added to Maven Central

For a mavenized version, see @adamretter's https://github.com/evolvedbinary/appbundler-maven-build and https://github.com/evolvedbinary/appbundler-maven-plugin.

@sreilly We have been building and releasing versions from your code base to Maven Central here - https://search.maven.org/search?q=g:com.evolvedbinary.appbundler

There are two artifacts, first is just a straight Jar of the compiled AppBundler from your repo, and the the second is a Maven plugin, so you can use the AppBundler from Maven as opposed to Ant.

@adamretter in PR 43 I've included the tweaks you had in the patches in your repository. Would you mind checking that out and approving it if it works for you? Would you prefer for the mavenized version to be hosted in our repo? I don't mind if it keeps living in yours or moves over here. I don't really use maven but am happy to host it if you prefer.

[adamretter]

@sreilly Sure, I have put some comments directly in PR #43.

Regards the repos. I really don't mind where they live as long as they are maintained and that I can make releases of them when I need to. Perhaps @joewiz has a preference on that?

[joewiz]

No particular preference.

Would be great to get this on Maven Central
