[flatbuffers-java] when to release latest to maven repo ?

[taroplus]

Hello, the latest version I can see in mvn repo is 2.0.3 (published Sept 2021). It looks there's 2.0.6 tag, what is the release cycle and when can I expect the new version to be published to maven repo ?

Usually @aardappel does the releases, I don't have the credentials/know-how. I don't mind doing it if it can be done by someone outside google. @dbaileychess

@dbaileychess has all the keys for doing releases, though if someone external would want to be in charge of that, that could work too.

That said, we have so far only pushed to maven on major releases (and whenever there were breaking bugs caused by the last release). Just because there is a tag in the repo (possibly for use with another language that needed it) doesn't mean we will release for all languages.

Typically you'd have to wait for 2.1 or 3.0.. or use the Java files straight from the repo.

I think it would be good to release minors per platform, as there are usually important fixes that takes too long to get shipped. Maybe we could do tagging minors per platform, like 2.0.1-java.

could someone please push the latest to maven ? it's about 1 yr old, last release was 2.0.3 (1st Sept)

This should be updated now to 2.0.7: https://search.maven.org/artifact/com.google.flatbuffers/flatbuffers-java/2.0.7/bundle

@taroplus Can you try using this? I am not a Java developer, so I am not the best person to test it.
