Hello Trevor,
I'm suprised Sonatype let you get away with that, I thought they
would require third party bundles to be repackaged in a local groupId.
Good news is that it is up now, and that you can get your stuff up too.
I took another project though the process of mirroring to central via
Sonatype's OSS nexus hosting, I can try to do the same for biojava3. It
might be a while before I can get to it though, it seems having two kids
leaves less time for OSS work than having just one. :)
