Cloud-Store SDK Maven Deployment Guide

This guide provides a step-by-step process for deploying a dependency to Maven Central Repository via OSS Sonatype.

Prerequisites

• Ensure you have the cloud-store-sdk-maven project directory, containing the necessary settings.xml and sunbird.asc files.

Steps to Push a Dependency to a Maven Repository

1. Access the Repository:

   • Open your web browser and navigate to OSS Sonatype.

2. Login:

   • Use the username and password from the cloud-store-sdk-maven/settings.xml file.

3. Generate a User Token:

   • After logging in, go to your profile.

   • From the profile drop-down menu, select User Token.

   • Click on Access User Token to generate a new username and token.

4. Update Maven Settings:

   • Add the newly generated username and token to your settings.xml file.

   • Copy the updated settings.xml file to your .m2 folder.

5. Deploy the Dependency:

   • Navigate to the directory cloud-store-sdk_2.12.

   • If you encounter GPG key errors, run: mvn deploy -DskipTests

   • Note: If you encounter GPG key errors, ensure that your GPG keys are valid or adjust your deployment command as needed.

6. Verify Deployment:

   • Open your browser and navigate to the Staging Repositories page to confirm your dependency has been pushed to the staging repository.

7. Release the Dependency:

   • Once confirmed, click the Release button to promote the dependency from the Staging Repository to Maven Central.
