Include JAR in releases

[nselikoff]

The README indicates that there's a compiled JAR in the releases:

Use the JAR provided in the releases. java -jar gtfs-validator.jar yourGtfs.zip

But this does not appear to be the case

take a look here: https://github.com/laidig/gtfs-validator/releases

The artifacts including snapshots are deployed to the Conveyal Maven repo too. You can see how to access them via our GTFS-realtime validator project:
https://github.com/CUTR-at-USF/gtfs-realtime-validator/blob/master/pom.xml#L16

But yes, it would be nice to publish them on this project Github releases page too.

Thanks @laidig and @barbeau that's helpful. If it's more desirable to have artifacts in Conveyal's Maven repo vs Github that's understandable but in that case updating the README would be helpful (with the Maven repo info as well).

Is this still considered the master repo? I see activity on the CUTR-at-USF fork, is the plan to merge those changes back here regularly?

[laidig]

@nselikoff This is the main repo. CUTR and I both have forks that we try and merge back into this one.

@barbeau I don't see any jars in any of those repos. Is that expected? I'd gladly update the readme if that is the case.

@laidig Whoops, you're right - looks like the artifacts are actually in the OneBusAway Maven repo:
http://nexus.onebusaway.org/nexus/content/groups/public/com/conveyal/

[laidig]

@barbeau, they don't look like they've been updated since Tue Jun 07 08:42:51 EDT 2016

Whoops again :). Ok, looks like the actual place artifacts are being published is:

• http://build.staging.obanyc.com/archiva/repository/snapshots/
• http://build.staging.obanyc.com/archiva/repository/releases/

I see JARs up to April for gtfs-validation-lib 0.1.7-SNAPSHOT at:
http://build.staging.obanyc.com/archiva/repository/snapshots/com/conveyal/gtfs-validation-lib/0.1.7-SNAPSHOT/

...and gtfs-validator-json at:
http://build.staging.obanyc.com/archiva/repository/snapshots/com/conveyal/gtfs-validator-json/0.1.7-SNAPSHOT/

Note that the webapp project (http://build.staging.obanyc.com/archiva/repository/snapshots/com/conveyal/gtfs-validator/0.1.7-SNAPSHOT/) won't have JARs. We're building this dynamically for our gtfs-rt-validator via Maven at https://github.com/CUTR-at-USF/gtfs-realtime-validator/blob/master/pom.xml#L281.

Since the README now references where to find the .jar files, I think this can be closed.

The link in the README is dead, so I was not able to track down the .jar files until I found this page. I would fix the link where it says 'Snapshots are available here'.

[sheldonabrown]

I used to host the jar files / maven dependencies. I can still extend that offer if its helpful...I've just moved repository providers two or three times since this ticket was created.

Hello,
I have been searching for the jar following this guidance
https://github.com/MobilityData/gtfs-validator/blob/master/docs/DOWNLOAD_SNAPSHOT_JAR.md
without success.
Even when the artefacts were said to be downloadable I could not find any.

CORRECTION
They are visible once I am logged in github.

Thanks!
