Thanks for this! Could we please get the java client lib jar published on maven central?

The java client lib has been published on Maven Central but it may take some time for their servers to allow it to become available and searchable.

I’ve updated the corresponding packages in Nixpkgs, [making 6.1.8 officially available in the unstable channel](https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/2a56ea3593aa0702a61313572c2211ef947f4d1f/pkgs/servers/foundationdb/default.nix#L71). (It will be a little time before the resulting binary packages are available.)
