Is there any way to put my JAR file in remote repository, so my maven project can get this JAR file from any place via Internet?

I have downloaded and did some fixes in the ReportNG project: https://github.com/dwdyer/reportng . Using ANT I have compiled this project into JAR, now I want to put it into remote Maven repository, but don't know how I can do that.

Could somebody please suggest me the way, how I can perform that?

If it is a released version you want to make available in maven central follow this guide: http://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-central-repository-upload.html

I'm no github professional but since a maven repo is just a file structure with some meta-data you can put it anywhere maven can read it (ftp, http, ...). so you could create a git repo to host your maven artifacts. see http://cemerick.com/2010/08/24/hosting-maven-repos-on-github/ for an example. (it may be outdated - github may have something like maven repo hosting, I just dont know)
