Maven Central

Deployments are made to Maven Central on the io.github.graphql-java-kickstart namespace using a user token that is stored as a secret in this Github repositoy (OSS_USER_TOKEN_KEY|PASS) and used during the release Github action.

It is also possible to deploy a snapshot locally by running mvn clean deploy with .m2/setting.xml configured to use the same token:

  <servers>
    <server>
      <id>central</id>
      <username>{token-user}</username>
      <password>{token-pass}</password>
    </server>
  </servers>
