Artifact deployment on Maven central

[wikier]

Would be possible to get it deployed there? There are some organizations (such as ASF) that strictly require having all dependencies there.

The easiest way would be via Sonatype: https://docs.sonatype.org/display/Repository/Sonatype+OSS+Maven+Repository+Usage+Guide

Hi, I'd need to think about groupId and artifactId in such case. I'm wondering, what would be your the workflow to use the extension?

Do you have some tooling that downloads it from Maven Central and puts it into ${MAVEN_HOME}/lib/ext directory?

This would be very useful now, because core extensions can be downloaded and activated automatically by putting .mvn/extensions.xml into a source tree: http://takari.io/2015/03/19/core-extensions.html

EDIT: To be honest, though, I'm probably more interested in JSR223 than MVEL: https://github.com/rrialq/jsr223-profile-activator-extension

This would be an excellent improvement that would enable me to use this extension in production! I would like to use this extension, but I can't expect users and developers to install two JARs into ${MAVEN_HOME}/lib/ext, and on top of that, they'd have to build el-profile-activator-extension.jar from source. But if there were a Maven artifact, I could add a few lines to the project's .mvn/extensions.xml file, and it would just work for users and developers.
