Maven artifact

[serge-rider]

Hey,

I'm from https://github.com/dbeaver/dbeaver/ team.
We are using hive uber jar for some time (thanks for it!) and it actually rocks (https://github.com/dbeaver/dbeaver/wiki/Apache-Hive). For UI client it is a life saver. DBeaver supports downloading of Maven artifacts (and most of publicly available drivers are downloaded directly from Maven Central) but for standard Hive driver it takes like forever to download these hundreds of jars.

For now I've hardcoded direct http link on one of the latest uber-jar releases on GitHub. This works but it is not very cool as users can't choose the most recent or some older version.
While for Maven artifacts DBeaver shows all available versions and allows user to choose one.

How do you think - is it possible to put uber-jar in a public Maven repository?

Also I noticed that you are making your own Hive driver - looks very interesting. I could add it to DBeaver config at some moment but again - it would be great to have it in Maven repository (any public repository, Maven Central is not a requirement).

Thank you very much,
Serge

Serge, thanks for the note... i'd be very interested in getting you up and running with my driver alternative. this project is really just a work around to one of the main problems you noted... hive requires a massive dependency graph for JDBC. Lets talk offline how I can help you.
