Bintray and JCenter are shutting down on February 1st, 2022. +Relying upon repositories that are deprecated or scheduled to be shutdown can have unintended consequences; +for example, artifacts being resolved from a different artifact server or a total failure 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 canonical repository for resolving your dependencies.
+ +The following example shows locations in a Maven POM file where artifact repository upload/download is configured. +The use of Bintray in any of these locations is not advised. +
