Thanks for getting that done!

I'm not really a Java developer, so reviewing the code and sending 
improvements isn't something I'm planning to do at the moment. But, feel 
free to ask me if you have any questions related to git and pushing 
changes to the Gluster Forge.

Your documentation is very good, it deserves some promotion ;-)
- https://forge.gluster.org/glustergraph/pages/Home

If you plan to keep providing the .jar in the git repository, I suggest 
you add a download link in the documentation. The latest version in the 
master branch can get downloaded from here:
- https://forge.gluster.org/glustergraph/glustergraph/blobs/raw/master/GlusterGraph/ExecJar/glustergraph.jar

When you introduce versioning, you can create tags and automatically 
have make versioned downloads available:

0. Make sure all the changes have been committed to your local 
   repository, this includes the generated .jar file.

1. Create a tag in your local git repository (HEAD is current state, you 
   can use a commit-id or name of a branch too):

    $ git tag -a v0.1

2. Push the tag (and its dependencies) to the remote repository:

    $ git push origin v0.1

3. Download location of the v0.1 version:
   - https://forge.gluster.org/glustergraph/glustergraph/blobs/raw/v0.1/GlusterGraph/ExecJar/glustergraph.jar

HTH,
Niels
