Staging a New Release

Bundle your build artifacts (JAR / POM / ASC files) into a single bundle.jar to upload them to OSSRH staging:

$ jar cvf bundle.jar *.pom *.jar *.asc

Then log into https://oss.sonatype.org/ with your JIRA username / password and choose "Staging Upload" on the left side.

Choose "Artifact Bundle" from the dropdown, and select your bundle.jar for upload.

After uploading, select "Staging Repositories" on the left side, and locate your bundle in the list.

To abort the process, you can choose "Drop" to delete your staged bundle.

Select the repository and choose "Close" at the top. This will run a set of checks to verify that the artifacts are of sufficient quality to upload to Maven Central.<placeholder>
