This is important credentials file for deployment to Maven central.
Reason: 
we are binding `username/password` in `settings.xml` 
to the `distributionManagement` in `pom.xml` 
via the id: `<id>sonatype-nexus-staging</id>`.

Few months ago you said that the coudbees works with Maven as well.
Again, can we check it out now, and make the first deployment into Maven central of SNAPSHOTs?

Do we really need to deploy the `zip` file to sourcefore as well?
