Has Google Collections 1.0 been mavenized?

Question

According to the entry at MVNRepository, at the time of this writing, the latest version in maven central is 1.0-rc5. I am aware there are no changes between 1.0 which was recently announced and RC5, but I guess the nit picker in me wants to find a 1.0 version. Here's the POM entry for RC5.

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.google.collections</groupId>
    <artifactId>google-collections</artifactId>
    <version>1.0-rc5</version>
</dependency> 

Answer 1

Version 1.0 of google-collections (which is final since the 30 dec 2009) is available in central since... the 30 dec 2009: http://repo2.maven.org/maven2/com/google/collections/google-collections/1.0/. Don't trust mvnrepository, go see yourself (or use a better solution to search central and other Public Repositories).

Answer 2

Why not keep your own local repository and add the 1.0 version to it? Add it to your list of repositories in your OS-dependent USER-HOME/.m2/settings.xml

Info on this is available at: Introduction to Repositories

Then you won't be reliant on it being on a given central repo or mirror, and you'll be able to use google-collections-1.0 in your POM. It also eases the burden on the public repos when artifacts are kept on a local server and only on occasion does something new get brought in from a central repo..

Now, if it's a shared project you'd probably need your repo to be public, but if not then it should be pretty simple to set something up.
