One step further to upload #FreeTTS to #MavenCentral
It seems, the Maven #ANT resolver tasks expects a project POM file. I only provided one for the upload but not project POM. Hence, the task ran into a NullPointerException when trying to look up the project POM.

Bad thing now is, that I need to upload multiple artifacts, each with their own POM. In that case, the resolver complains that the project POM differs from the one to use for the upload. One more thing to resolve.

Some progress with my efforts to publish a snapshot of #FreeTTS on #MavenCentral. At least I now get a different error with the #maven resolver ant task than before. Now, it turned into a NullPointerException at this code line of the used #ANT task: github.com/apache/maven-resolv
Some more investigations needed.

Some progress to have some #opensource projects compilable again.
As a maintainer of #FreeTTS, I am still stuck to #java8 and #ant as a build system.
I upgraded from the deprecated Maven ANT Task to the Maven Resolver ANT task.
Publishing to local works again, but I am still fighting to upload my snapshot to #SonatypeNexus to have it on #MavenCentral again.

Tried using Nari as open-source TTS alternative to ElevenLabs? Hosting n8n/Ollama locally with GPT-OSS. Looking for guidance: Can Nari integrate with n8n workflows? Has anyone done this? Need help setting up Nari for voice generation in digital agent projects.

Coninued the work on #FreeTTS that I inherited years ago.
Source of this project is now github.com/JVoiceXML/FreeTTS (moved from SourceForge).

Trying to upload a new version to sonatype resulted in several errors as the ANT support for maven is outdated. However, this information helped: clutcher.github.io/post/hybris
