Maintainer Repo Configuration

The repository is integrated with CircleCI and therefore no manual configuration is necessary.

Should manual configuration become necessary, the maintainer should consider adding the following to their properties file:

~/.gradle/gradle.properties
   mavenUser=SonatypeNexusUser
   mavenPassword=SonatypeNexusPassword
   signing.keyId=mykeyabcd12345abcd
   signing.password=mykeyringpassword
   signing.secretKeyRingFile=/Users/my_username/.gnupg/secring.gpg

If you are working on a CI environment, such as CircleCI, you can specify gradle environmental variables using the "ORG_GRADLE_PROJECT" prefix:

export ORG_GRADLE_PROJECT_mavenUser="nexusUser"
export ORG_GRADLE_PROJECT_mavenPassword="nexusPassword"
