Way To Deploy Your Own Maven Dependency On Github

Recently, there's a need to share my own maven dependency with friends. Here's what I did in order to make github as a private maven repository.

Insert the following configuration in pom.xml which is nested in the project that you are ready to share via maven.

<build>
    <plugins>
        <plugin>
            <artifactId>maven-deploy-plugin</artifactId>
            <version>2.8.1</version>
            <configuration>
                <altDeploymentRepository>internal.repo::default::file://${project.build.directory}/mvn-repo</altDeploymentRepository>
            </configuration>
        </plugin>
    </plugins>
</build>

Execute `mvn clean deploy`, then you can find "target/mvn-repo" directory from the root of your project.

Create a github repository, execute the following command to push the project to github:

git init
git add .
git commit -m "update"
git remote add origin https://github.com/[github_repository]
git push -u origin master

Eventually, add configuration in pom.xml, whose project is going to refer to that maven dependency, as below.

<repositories>
    <repository>
        <id>miaozhen-dm-sdk-repo</id>
        <url>https://github.com/judking4/com.miaozhen.dm.sdk/tree/master/target/mvn-repo</url>
    </repository>
</repositories>
...
<dependencies>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>com.myproject.dm.sdk</groupId>
        <artifactId>com.myproject.dm.sdk</artifactId>
        <version>0.0.1-SNAPSHOT</version>
    </dependency>
</dependencies>

In which, groupId, artifactId as well as version can all be found in either the mvn-repo directory, or the pom.xml of the maven dependency project.
