Hi, Okay, I've modified the MARC4J project to be "Mavenized"... to test it out, you can clone my fork: https://github.com/ksclarke/marc4j (the 'mavenized' branch)... you'll note all the references to ksclarke/marc4j would need to be changed to marc4j/marc4j if you all want to go the full-monty-Maven route. The README has simple build instructions (assuming you have Maven installed, for instance) and there is the documentation/site that Maven can automatically generate at: http://ksclarke.github.io/marc4j/ (and a preliminary travis-ci build at: https://travis-ci.org/ksclarke/marc4j). The project is pre-configured and ready to have its artifacts pushed into the Sonatype OSS repository (artifacts can be pushed from there into Maven's central repository). The step that would need to take place before that could happen is to register a MARC4J account with Sonatype, upload SSH keys, etc. I'd be glad to do that if you all decide you'd like to go the Maven route with MARC4J. If that doesn't sound good, though, no worries... it was a fun exercise...
