[jvm-package] xgboost >1 not published to maven, or anywhere else

[sa-]

Hey team,

xgboost jars should be easily accessible for all, but they are not.

Maven central https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/ml.dmlc/xgboost4j only has up to version 0.90

The snapshot repo @ https://raw.githubusercontent.com/CodingCat/xgboost/maven-repo/ is broken as well

https://github.com/CodingCat/xgboost/tree/maven-repo/ml/dmlc/xgboost4j doesn't list 1.0 either

@CodingCat Can we get 1.0 to Maven?

@sa- We are creating our own Maven repository where you can find latest XGBoost4J JARs: #5533.

XGBoost4J 1.0.0 is now available from our Release repository:

  <name>XGBoost4J Release Repo</name>
  <url>https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/xgboost-maven-repo/release/</url>
</repository>
