Ok, I've been reading some docs and found:
* http://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-central-repository-upload.html
* https://docs.sonatype.org/display/Repository/Central+Sync+Requirements

When you check the list on the second link it seems that the POM file 
for libvirt-java is missing the <developers> section which is mandatory now.

I'm not sure about these two lines though:
* If the project packaging is jar, and the jar file contains java 
classes, there must be a -javadoc.jar for main artifact.
* If the project packaging is jar, and the jar file contains java 
classes, there must be a -sources.jar for main artifact.

I checked the maven-ant-tasks repo and saw they are providing these 
files: http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/apache/maven/maven-ant-tasks/

For now we can simply put a README file in both those JAR files pointing 
to libvirt.org?

You can manually create both these JAR files and see if the central repo 
fetches them then?
