Folks, As Drill have been moving towards 1.0 and user interests have been increasing; we have seen requests, among others, to make it easy to write and build UDFs.
The first step towards this is to make Drill's jars available in Apache's maven repository. I have created an infra ticket[1] for enabling Nexus access for Drill. We should begin publishing the artifacts from the 0.9.0 release. Jacques, let me know if you need my help on this part during the release process. aditya...
