Please see the attached patch. This will help with publishing artifacts to Maven Central via SontaType OSSRH. It essentially introduces a pom.xml file and implements the typical expects Maven directory structure e.g. src/main/java. From top directory in trunk, it can be applied as follows

patch -p0 -i bzip2.maven.patch

You can then build the project by invoking

$ cd jbzip2/ $ mvn install
