h1. Releasing Java SDK packages

The Java SDK is distributed on the Sonatype artifact repository.  Here are the steps to release a new jar file:

reference: https://central.sonatype.org/publish/release/

# Build and upload package using https://ci.arvados.org/view/All/job/build-java-sdk

# Go to https://oss.sonatype.org and log in with the appropriate credentials (gopass oss.sonatype.org/curii)

# Under "Build Promotion" on the left sidebar, click on "Staging Repostories"

# Find "orgarvados-XXXX" and click on it

# In the toolstrip, click on "Close" -- this locks the repository against further changes and runs validation checks

# The validation checks take a few minutes.  You can monitor it on the "Activity" tab

# Once the validations have passed, you'll be able to hit the "Release" button

# This moves the packages to the release repository and drops (deletes) the staging repository

# Reportedly there is lag of a few minutes on when a released package becomes visible / searchable

h2. Getting the authentication token for Sonatype

# Go to https://oss.sonatype.org and log in with the appropriate credentials (gopass oss.sonatype.org/curii)

# Click on "Curii" in the upper right and go to "Profile"

# There will be a drop down menu that says "Summary", click on it and select "User Token"

# There will be a button "Access User Token", click on it and it will give a random string for username and password 

# Paste those into @gradle.properties@

# Update the credentials on Jenkins
