Research direction

Start by reading the earlier discussions in issues #7 and #6, then review the repository's existing publishing configuration and the proposed GitHub Actions .yml workflow. Done means the Java library is published to Maven Central and the deployment process is documented or demonstrated as described.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

The publishing to maven central topic has happened several times before (https://github.com/multiformats/java-multibase/issues/7 https://github.com/multiformats/java-multibase/issues/6).

Why this proposal again?
Libraries that are in Maven Central cannot have dependencies on libraries in other repositories (like JitPack).
So if any library located in Maven Central wants to use java-multibase then it simply cannot.

So, I propose to publish library to the Maven Central.
I did such publishing myself some time ago and the process turns out to be simple.
Of course I want to support with that, I can create an action on GitHub with the deployment (just a few simple steps in the .yml file) and show how it works on my forked repo.
