Hello everyone!
We have updated the documentation for publishing artifacts to the Central
Repository via the free Sonatype Open Source Repository Hosting (OSSRH) and
added more documents about status, getting help and more and put it all
together on a brand new website.
Please look at the announcement blog post at
http://blog.sonatype.com/2014/03/a-home-for-the-central-repository/
and the actual new website at http://central.sonatype.org/
Specifically the instructions for Apache Maven are at
http://central.sonatype.org/pages/apache-maven.html
but I would like to encourage you all to have a look at the rest of the site as
well.
The Maven docs details usage of things like the Nexus Staging Maven Plugin for
command line based release (no more logging into the UI) and a whole lot of
other things.
We are hoping you find this all useful and get some great feedback and
recommendations for improvements from you.
Looking forward to continue to improve the site going forward.
Jason, Joel, Manfred and others

In the Maven section, I was hoping to see some discussion like...
*Local Repository Manager vs Sonatype OSS*
You may be in a situation that you have a local or corporate Repository
Manager that you use as part of your daily software development process,
and you only want to use the Sonatype OSS Repository Manager on
occasion. You can can configure this in your settings.xml like this:
<profile>
<id>local-repository</id>
<properties>
<altReleaseDeploymentRepository>local-nexus::default::http://localhost:8081/nexus/content/repositories/releases/</altReleaseDeploymentRepository>
<altSnapshotDeploymentRepository>local-nexus::default::http://localhost:8081/nexus/content/repositories/snapshots/</altSnapshotDeploymentRepository>
</properties>
</profile>
<activeProfiles>
<activeProfile>local-repository</activeProfile>
</activeProfiles>
<servers>
<server>
<id>local-nexus</id>
<username>deployment</username>
<password>/secret/</password>
</server>
<server>
<id>sonatype-nexus-snapshots</id>
<username>/username/</username>
<password>/secret/</password>
</server>
<server>
<id>sonatype-nexus-staging</id>
<username>/username/</username>
<password>/secret/</password>
</server>
</servers>
Normally when you run deploy, your artifacts will go to 'local-nexus'
(or whatever you configure), but when you want to use the Sonatype OSS
repository, you can just use
mvn deploy -P!local-repository
and Maven will deploy according to the <distributionManagement> defined in
<parent>
<groupId>org.sonatype.oss</groupId>
<artifactId>oss-parent</artifactId>
<version>7</version>
</parent>
The benefit of this method is that you do not have to put any local or
unnecessary corporate information in the pom.xml you are distributing
with your project.
Warning: some older versions of the maven-deploy-plugin do not support
this properly, so use the latest version, for example, in your pom.xml:
<build>
<pluginManagement>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<!--
Bugs in older versions prevent altReleaseDeploymentRepository
and altSnapshotDeploymentRepository from working correctly
https://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-deploy-plugin/deploy-mojo.html
-->
<artifactId>maven-deploy-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.8.1</version>
</plugin>
</pluginManagement>
. . .
</build>
