It would be easier to work with BioJava to have our release jars distributed from Maven Central. I am in the process of setting this up.

This will go via the Sonatype OSS repo.

Step 1 was to create an account at Sonatype: https://issues.sonatype.org/browse/OSSRH-10253

Next steps:

Deploy snapshot artifacts into repository https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots
Deploy release artifacts into the staging repository https://oss.sonatype.org/service/local/staging/deploy/maven2
Promote staged artifacts into repository 'Releases'
Download snapshot and release artifacts from group https://oss.sonatype.org/content/groups/public
Download snapshot, release and staged artifacts from staging group https://oss.sonatype.org/content/groups/staging
