There is an easier way in 2020.

First, add distribution configuration to your pom.xml:

 
  github
  GitHub OWNER Apache Maven Packages
  https://maven.pkg.github.com/OWNER/REPOSITORY
 

The id must be github.

Second, use actions/setup-java@v1 in action

steps:
  - uses: actions/checkout@v2

  - uses: actions/setup-java@v1
    with:
      java-version: 1.8

  - name: Publish to GitHub Packages
    env:
      GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ github.token }}
    run: mvn deploy
