Step 2 : Create Maven Project and Library

Step 3 : Signing Artifacts with GPG

• Installing GnuPG
  • Download GPG from http://www.gnupg.org/download/ or install it with your favorite package manager and verify it by running a gpg command with the version flag.

  • Generating a Key Pair

  $ gpg --gen-key
  
  • Listing Keys and copy 6FC50F1CF4E8F129 use Step 4

  $ gpg --list-secret-keys --keyid-format LONG
  sec   rsa2048/6FC50F1CF4E8F129 2017-11-13 [SC] [expires: 2019-11-13]

  ssb   rsa2048/B4BCCFD8A59F479E 2017-11-13 [E] [expires: 2019-11-13]
  
  • Export Public Key/Private Key in format

  gpg -a --export yourmail@email.com > public_key_sender.asc
  gpg -a --export-secret-key yourmail@email.com > private_key_sender.asc
  
  • cat public_key_sender.asc and copy key
  • open url https://pgp.mit.edu/
  • input key in Submit a key and Click Submit this key to keyserver! if finish show text below

  Key block added to key server database. New public keys added: 
  3 key(s) added successfully.
  

Step 4 : Deploying to OSSRH with Apache Maven

• First Deployment
  • The above configurations will get the user account details to deploy to OSSRH from your Maven settings.xml file. A minimal settings with the authentication is (path ~/.m2)

  <settings>
    <servers>
      <server>
        <id>ossrh</id>
        <username>your-jira-id</username>
        <password>your-jira-pwd</password>
      </server>
    </servers>
    <profiles>
      <profile>
        <id>ossrh</id>
        <activation>
          <activeByDefault>true</activeByDefault>
        </activation>
        <properties>
          <gpg.executable>gpg2</gpg.executable>
          <gpg.passphrase>6FC50F1CF4E8F129</gpg.passphrase>
        </properties>
      </profile>
    </profiles>
