Building the EXPath Library Package

• Requirements: Java 8, Apache Maven 3.3+, Git.

If you want to create an EXPath Package for the app, you can run:

$ mvn package

There will be a .xar file in the target/ sub-folder that can be deployed to FusionDB, Elemental, or eXist-db via it's Package Manager.

Publishing the EXPath Library Package

You can use the Maven Release plugin to publish your applications publicly to Maven Central.

1. You need to register to manage the groupId of your organisation on Maven Central, see: http://central.sonatype.org/pages/ossrh-guide.html#create-a-ticket-with-sonatype

2. Assuming your Git repo is in-sync, you can simply run the following to upload to Sonatype OSS:

$ mvn release:prepare
$ mvn release:perform

3. You need to release the artifacts on the Sonatype OSS web portal, see: http://central.sonatype.org/pages/ossrh-guide.html#releasing-to-central
