Maven Central Publish Gate

Runs the same checker as the npm package @readystack/maven-central-publish-gate on a Node.js runtime that pip installs for you (nodejs-wheel-binaries) - no system Node.js needed. Your files are checked locally.

Read a pom.xml the way the Central Portal reads it, before you burn a release tag

Install

maven-central-publish-gate file

Node 18+. The same 16 rules as the VS Code extension, from a terminal or CI.

Free

• Open any pom.xml in VS Code or paste it into the free web page and get every Central Portal blocker on that file, each one on its own line with the fix
• --rules lists every rule

With a licence ($29 once)

• Gate every pom.xml in a multi-module repository in one command and keep the result as a REPORT.md you own and can attach to the release

@readystack/maven-central-publish-gate --dir ./templates --report html --out report.html

A freelance Java release engineer bills about $80 an hour, and a rejected bundle costs a full release round-trip: retag, rebuild, re-sign, re-upload.
