[jvm-packages] xgboost4j and xgboost4j-spark 1.1.1 maven release

[dding3]

I found there is xgboost 1.2 in pip install while latest version for xgboost4j and xgboost4j-spark on maven is 1.0.0. Any idea about when newer versions will be released in maven?

@CodingCat Can we get latest versions to Maven Central?

FYI, the XGBoost project hosts latest Maven artifacts in a S3 bucket. You can access latest artifacts by adding the following to pom.xml:

<repository>
  <id>XGBoost4J Release Repo</id>
  <name>XGBoost4J Release Repo</name>
  <url>https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/xgboost-maven-repo/release/</url>

Out of curiosity, will the artifacts make it to Maven eventually, or are we expected to get it permanently from s3?

I will do it within the week
