Description

Currently every custom plugin like clojure-lsp-intellij requires that the user install both clojure-lsp-intellij and lsp4ij, this makes harder to make sure user has the lsp4ij that clojure-lsp-intellij requires, especially if a new version or bug is fixed.
There were already users that reported bugs complaining that something was not working but it was just the lsp4ij plugin that was outdated (and for some reason not showing on jetbrains marketplace to update, after restarting intellij it showed up).

My suggestion is if it's possible to upload the lsp4ij jar to maven central or something so libs can use it as a dependency, not sure if that will work for intellij though, like the plugin.xml, I suppose yes since everything is on classpath in the end.

Also, that would make possible to use nightly builds of lsp4ij without the need to user add a channel for that.

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. First determine whether lsp4ij can be published as a Maven dependency and consumed by IntelliJ plugins; done would let custom plugins use a compatible lsp4ij version without a separate installation.
