Best way to create maven project to upload missing jars in central repository
ProGuard version 4.5, 4.5.1 and 4.6 have been released, but unfortunately, the corresponding maven artifacts have not been released in central repository:

    <dependency>
        <groupId>net.sf.proguard</groupId>
        <artifactId>proguard</artifactId>
        <version>4.4</version> <-- This is the limit
    <scope>runtime</scope> </dependency>

I have left a message on Proguard's [forum][1] for more information. I am considering releasing them myself since Eric Lafortune mentioned he is not involved with maven anymore.

Instead of recompiling the code, I was wondering whether it might be possible to create a maven project to install existing jars (available from sourceforge) into the central repository. This is different than installing external jars in a local repository.

How can I configure my pom.xml to achieve this assuming those jars are available in my local repository? Is this possible?

The next step would be to use Sonatype's repository as a stepstone to release the artifacts into central repository.
