How to publish Java packages on Sonatype.

What are Java packages?

Java is a general-purpose, concurrent, class-based, object-oriented programming language specifically designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible. It lets application developers 'write once, run anywhere' (WORA), meaning that coders can write a single application and compile it on many platforms without rewriting it. These targeted applications include enterprise software systems, applets, browser plugins, J2ME apps, and other applications that have already driven the popularity of Java technology on the server and the embedded platform.

What is Sonatype?

Sonatype Nexus is the most prevalent open source repository management software platform in use today. Its popularity is driven by its powerful capabilities for managing all aspects of the full development lifecycle, that can scale to meet the most ambitious projects. It provides flexible platforms to manage agile development processes and single-server to enterprise software deployments.
