Publish to MavenCentral

[LeoColman]

Jitpack is awesome, but Maven Central is more usual for Kotlin users (we use it instead of Jitpack, for instance :P)

The process is easier than it looks. It requires proving domain ownership on a Jira ticket and uploading artifacts to a different repository.

I can help with the account setup and the repository adaptations if needed.
A pet project of mine is published to Maven Central and it's very simple, so it can be used as a guide if one is needed: https://github.com/LeoColman/SimpleCpfValidator

Hi! Firstly, thank you again for the PRs.

I have no idea on how to publish on maven, but I would love to do it (perhaps the project needs some revival before that, tho). I do not have access to the domain configuration, but just like jitpack's custom domain (com.open-meteo.*) I asked Patrick Zippenfenig for collaboration and everything worked out smoothly.

We actually have the option to rename the package by shifting publishing channel, should we? Let me know wdyt 😃

Great! Good to know Patrick will be there when we need them :D

I think this tutorial summarizes a good start:

• create a JIRA account here
• Create a new issue using this template.

After this we can setup the project to publish in Sonatype's format, which involves including KotlinDocs (Dokka).

The current group is com.open-meteo and current artifact is open-meteo-api-kotlin.

Java seems to be published to Maven Central as com.open-meteo:sdk:1.4.0. I vote for keeping the group as com.open-meteo but changing the artifact to kotlin-sdk or sdk-kotlin

Python seems to publish to Pip as openmeteo-sdk. Python doesn't have a group level, I think.

Typescript seems to be publishing as openmeteo plain and simple.
