I don't use maven, but people ask for maven POM for my open source project (http://bayou.io), which makes sense.
So I read about maven; I read, and I read, ... still poop. It seems like a chore to publish to maven central repository. I'm lazy, and not the good kind of lazy, the lazy kind of lazy.
Fortunately there is https://jitpack.io/. Once you published your project on github, you've published it to maven world. That removes one step in the whole publication business which is already too messy.

It is great, I highly recommend it!
Sometimes its good to be lazy and it could mean that you were doing something that can be simplified or automated. Thats what we try to do.
