Can I use a GitHub project directly in Maven?

Try jitpack, you just need to add the dependency, jitpack will build others for you.

From home page:

jitpack
Easy to use package repository for Gradle and Maven projects
JitPack builds GitHub projects on demand and provides ready-to-use packages

HOW

  1. Add repository first
<repository>
    <id>jitpack.io</id>
    <url>https://jitpack.io</url>
</repository>
  1. Add dependency
<dependency>
    <groupId>com.github.User</groupId>
    <artifactId>Repo name</artifactId>
    <version>Release tag</version>
</dependency>

TIPS:

You can see its build log too https://jitpack.io/com/github/NanoHttpd/nanohttpd/Release-2.1.0/build.log
