Publish on Maven Central

[connyduck]

Please publish the libraries on Maven Central or another repository that is not JCenter. JCenter is being shut down and will stop working on May 1st 2021. https://jfrog.com/blog/into-the-sunset-bintray-jcenter-gocenter-and-chartcenter/

Hello @connyduck,

thanks for the heads-up! That is really sudden...

I have looked around the alternative services and I have picked these two which might be sufficient to use:

• https://jfrog.com/artifactory
• https://jitpack.io

Could you comment on these above or any other service you would recommend to migrate to?

• If you have any resource that would help with the migration please share it here as well.

Bintray blog post update:

UPDATE: To better support the community in this migration, JFrog has extended the JCenter new package versions submission deadline through March 31st 2021.

To clarify, the JCenter repository will keep serving packages for 12 months until February 1st 2022. Only the JCenter REST API and UI will be sunsetted on May 1st 2021.

Hello @connyduck - I have released v 4.4.1 on Maven Central.

The referenced pull request #131 will be verified by one of my colleagues but still, could you test out the new version as well? There should be no functional changes.

Yes, it works, 4.4.1 is downloaded from Maven Central. Thank you!
