Bintray and JCenter are shutting down on May 1st, 20201. +Relying upon repositories that are deprecated or slated to be shutdown can have unintended consequences; +for example, artifacts being resolved from different artifact server or total breakage of the CI build.
+ +When artifact repositories are left unmaintained for a long period of time, vulnerabilities may emerge. +Theoretically, this could allow attackers to inject malicious code into the artifacts that you are resolving and infect build artifacts +that are being produced. This can be used by attackers to perform a +Supply chain attack +against your project's users. +
+ +Always use the cononical repository for resolving your dependencies.
+ +This examples show examples of locations in Maven POM files where artifact repository upload/download is configured. +The use of Bintray in any of these locaitons is not advised. +
