Hi Eric! Thanks for your work! It is common practice to publish packages to a central maven repository.
It has many benefits, such as dependency management, automation, repeatable builds, etc. Also, it has disadvantages; you will spend a lot of time if you don't master enough. But I think the benefits outweigh the drawbacks. Let me conclude that I agree with the proposal. But before you do, I think you should consider a few things. The first question is, as far as I know, managing maven dependencies requires an account or password. Who should be the actual controller of this account? The second question is if there is a better management tool, such as Gradle, do we need to publish Gradle dependencies? The third question is, how to maintain the dependencies continuously, and do I need to consider CI/CD?
