Upload Java distribution to Maven Central

[aleuner]

Please make numbertext usable as a maven dependency.

Hello,

I try to use numbertext.jar as a dependency in a project built with build tool maven.
Maven normally wants project dependencies declared as (so-called) coordinates consisting of a groupid, an artifactid and a version. With those it automatically accesses the files needed by e. g. downloading them from a (remote) repository (server) during build time.

This fails for libnumbertext, because it doesn't seem to be published at the usual place yet - i. e. Maven Central - which is kind of the default public location for libraries with a suitable license.
I can locally work around this by "publishing" a downloaded copy of numbertext.jar into a company-owned repository server but would have to supply those maven coordinates doing this. To not create a diversion from a Numbertext distribution later published centrally I'd prefer to specify official coordinates defined by Numbertext project so that newer versions could be used from a public repository automatically.

Please do (first or both of) the following to help me :-)

1. Declare official maven coordinates for numbertext (Guide for choosing)
2. Upload a numbertext distribution to Maven Central using those coordinates. Instructions can be found at https://maven.apache.org/repository/guide-central-repository-upload.html

Thank you for your help and for making numbertext (and for making it exactly when discovered that I needed it :-) )

Thanks for your nice words and request! I plan to fix this issue this month.

It at least has a pom now in 1.0.6, so 1. is done (and the Debian package will have maven integration using that pom)

I can jump on this issue at the weekend. I did the Maven conversion, but I didn't know about this issue :)

Any update on this request?
