Why not use Sonatype for your repo?

For third party jars that aren't in central, you can upload these assuming
the licence allows it:
https://docs.sonatype.org/display/Repository/Uploading+3rd-party+Artifacts+to+The+Central+Repository

For your own stuff that you aren't going to publish for real but still want
to be available (e.g. latest releases of JFX), publish it as a SNAPSHOT.
For real stuff, publish it proper into the Maven repo and make it available
for use by the community.

It certainly would make my life massively more enjoyable if a build of the
JRE was available for download for each of the platforms. And things like
win-launcher.exe and other secondary assets would also make it much easier
to work on the packaging tools, etc.
