It is definitely a good idea to publish to Maven Central. I hope other folks chime in here as well and express their support.
While this could be done without direct resource contribution from Oracle right now, it's really ideal the specification lead do this on their end or at least grant their approval. Surely that should not be that challenging?

Hi,
Soteria and JSR 375 has been in development for quite some time at 1.0-m01-SNAPSHOT.
Although we didn't set specific goals for each milestone, it may be a good idea to release what we have now as 1.0-m01 and set the next version to 1.0-m02-SNAPSHOT.
While updating the pom files is mostly trivial, it would make sense to actually have version 1.0-m01 available in Maven central. This will make it much easier for people to experiment with this milestone and provide us with feedback.
For this deployment we need someone from Oracle, as they own the group IDs that we use.
So:
1. What does everyone think about releasing a 1.0-m01?2. Alex, or Will, can either of you do the deployment to Maven central?
Kind regards,Arjan Tijms
