[Bug-kawa] [bug #38311] FR: Publish Kawa 1.13 to Maven Repository

[AdriánMedraño Calvo]

Follow-up Comment #12, bug #38311 (project kawa):

This would be positive towards the android effort (thinking of the updated
tutorial).  Although not a big deal for users experienced in both Android and
Kawa (drop the jar somewhere, specify it in the build configuration), it is
valuable to make it as frictionless for people new in either, think those
landing on the webpage and wanting to check whether they can build a silly app
in ~ an hour.  The usual way to use libraries in an android project is to
specify the following sections in the build.gradle file:

repositories {
     jcenter()
}

dependencies {
    compile 'com.google.guava:guava:18.0'

}

Including jcenter() in the "repositories" block is quasi-standard.  The
current alternative is:

dependencies {
    compile files('./libs/kawa.jar')
}

which is not taxing in number of characters but, as explained above, in number
of steps before getting something working.

I wonder how could/should we deal with different jars for different platforms
(java{6,7,8,9}, android).

    Daniel, Jim, I'd appreciate your input on this, as you have more
experience with Maven.

---

Per, assuming you still find this worthwhile, I'll take a look at the process
of setting up a repository in jCentral and, more importantly, the process for
updating it with new releases.

Best regards,
Adrián.
