Description

For Java side currently we are offering nightly builds Jar artifacts uploaded to GitHub repository as an assets.

Then, if a user decided to use that in their local projects they need to download that Jar assets from the GitHub nightly packages and install that manually one by one as Jar needed as mention in the documentation.

Trying to figure out if there are some option to use GitHub nightly builds Jar artifacts as a really repository and only configure the nightly build in my pom.xml for example and maven be able to download dependencies needed automatically.
