+# Maven Central Package
+
+The Java package is maintained as a standalone repository:
+
+```text
+https://github.com/RouterBase/routerbase-java
+```
+
+Maven coordinates:
+
+```text
+com.routerbase:routerbase-client
+```
+
+The repository README starts with [RouterBase](https://routerbase.com), and Maven metadata uses `https://routerbase.com` as the project URL.
+
+## Current Status
+
+- GitHub repository: created.
+- CI: passing with `mvn -B verify`.
+- Release: `v0.1.0`.
+- Maven Central search before publishing: 0 results for `com.routerbase:routerbase-client`.
+
+## Publish
+
+Maven Central publishing requires namespace ownership for `com.routerbase`, signing credentials, and a Central Portal token.
+
+Recommended next setup:
+
+- Verify the `com.routerbase` namespace in Central Portal.
+- Add GPG signing configuration.
+- Add a release profile for Central Portal publishing.
+- Add GitHub secrets for the Central token and signing key.
+
+Keep the package unpublished until those credentials are configured; the current repository is ready for source, tests, and release review.
