"Sonatype" Profile for Deployment to Sonatype Repository

Profile sonatype can be activated only manually from command line, e.g.:

$ mvn clean deploy -Psonatype

The profile will try to "deploy" your artifacts to oss.sonatype.org Maven repository, using nexus-staging-maven-plugin, "close" remote repository and "release" it.

Deployment is bound to the deploy Maven phase. The profile also skips the default deployment of maven-deploy-plugin.

The profile also automates creation of -sources.jar and -javadoc.jar artifacts, required by Sonatype.
