Create a maven repository

We use Maven for our dependency management, and therefore it is very difficult for us to use Java libraries that are not available via a public Maven repository.

Would be greatly appreciated if you could create one for pcollections.

I did a very quick glance at what Maven is, but you could probably help point me in the right direction more
quickly -- what should I do to make a Maven repository for PCollections?

Maven is a very popular Java build tool which does dependency management, it encompasses the functionality of Ant (which I see
that you use), but it does a lot more.

One of the most useful things about Maven is that it can automatically download libraries your project depends upon, provided
those libraries are available in a public Maven repository.

If you can make pcollections available in a public Maven repository, you will make it much easier for people to use it in their
projects.

Here is a good introduction to Maven: http://maven.apache.org/guides/getting-started/index.html And here is a guide to publishing your library in a public Maven repository: http://stuartsierra.com/2009/09/08/run-your-own-maven-repository

We now use Maven for building!
Meanwhile waiting on Sonatype for a repository.

I was wondering if the maven repository has become available in the mean time. I would also be interested to use pcollections in a maven project.

Thanks.

Cool, good to know! Now that the build is with Maven that should be very easy.
Will do soon, on Sonatype.

Alright PCollections 2.1.2 should be in Maven Central any moment now!

Please let me know if anything is working / I haven't used Maven outside of this project, and it's surprisingly complex! ;)

Status: Done
