OpenJFX JMOD Files

[Matthias Bläsing]

Hi Johan,

I was in a similar situation for JNA (Java Native Access) and found,
that sonatype accepts other package types than jar/javadoc/sources.

To support opening JNI libraries, the native parts need to be packed
differently. This packaging is an "aar" (Android Archive). I did not
ask sonatype, but just modified the upload, to include the aar together
with the primary jar, javadocs and source.

You can see for the jna library itself:

https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/net/java/dev/jna/jna/5.1.0/

JNA uses the maven deploy plugin with the deploy-file goal and uploads
the files together (from the ant build script):

    <artifact:mvn failonerror="true">
      <arg value="org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-deploy-plugin:2.7:deploy-file"/>
      <arg value="-Durl=${maven-snapshots-repository-url}"/>
      <arg value="-DrepositoryId=${maven-snapshots-repository-id}"/>
      <arg value="-DpomFile=${pom}"/>
      <arg value="-Dfile=${dist-jar}"/>
      <arg value="-Dfiles=${maven-sources-jar},${maven-javadoc-jar},${dist-aar}"/>
      <arg value="-Dtypes=jar,jar,aar"/>
      <arg value="-Dclassifiers=sources,javadoc,"/>
    </artifact:mvn>

Maybe that helps

Matthias
