Since JCenter is going to be deprecated, what is the next best choice? I don't think anyone uses JitPack do they?
n
most of the developers now migrate its repos to mavenCentral now
c
Is there any available guide for migration @nedaluOf

Thanks. I just got through that only, publishing on mavenCentral is quite a headache though. On the other hand jitpack is not that widely used
n
yes jetpack not give the control in your repos as maven

JitPack imho is a very unreliable service that is also broken by design. It should not be used for any sane publishing, but at most for short term trying out things. But even then usually a composite build is better suited. Publishing to Maven Central is only a headache to set up. Once you have it running, it just works and is imho the best option.

I referred to this for publishing to Maven, it is just a one time pain, but fairly easy afterwards. https://securityboulevard.com/2021/02/what-publishers-need-to-know-about-migrating-from-jcenter-bintray-to-the-central-repository/
