Maven artifact & JDBC driver fat JAR

[mrigger]

Are there any plans to publish a Maven artifact for DuckDB? We are in the process of open-sourcing SQLancer, so this would be very helpful for us (and likely also for other Java projects that want to use DuckDB).

Yes, that is something we would like to do. I have never done this before though so help is appreciated. We also would like to bake all the binaries into a single JAR file, at the moment they are still platform specific.

Created a request for maven hosting at https://issues.sonatype.org/browse/OSSRH-58177

turns out we need to control the domain derived from the artifact group id. So changed the package name to org.duckdb (was: nl.cwi.da.duckdb). Once this PR is merged, JDBC applications will have to update the driver class name to org.duckdb.DuckDBDriver.

Thanks a lot for this! I've btw only started using Maven for SQLancer, and also don't have experience with this.

@mrigger welcome to dependency hell ^^

this works for me from Maven:

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.duckdb</groupId>
  <artifactId>duckdb_jdbc</artifactId>
  <version>0.1.8</version>
</dependency>
