There process is that after creating and tagging the release on github. I run the ant target "sign" which uses the gpg executable to sign the various artifacts as required by the Maven repository at Sonatype.org. As a last step it creates the a file called
bundle-2.9.jar which is what sonatype requires.
After that the process is annoyingly manual. In that I have to go to
https://oss.sonatype.org log in, select Staging Upload, and upload the created bundle. Once it is uploaded as Staging Repository, I have to review it, and click the release button.
I'm sure I did all of those steps back in July, but it seems to not have actually published the new version.
I went through the steps again today, using the bundle I created back in July, and it seems to have worked this time.
