is there an advantage to publishing gradle plugins to the gradle plugin portal or is sonatype/central fine?
m
I'd say central is fine
The main advantage of the plugin portal is discovery and listings
Besides that it will proxy requests to jcenter which itself should delegate to central if needed

It proxies to jcenter? That doesn't sound good
p
jcentral died a while ago right?
k
That's what I'm saying, you don't want jcenter in the middle of your chain
m
Agreed
Jcenter is still up and running in read only mode though
The thing is that if your plugin is not a fat jar (ie has some dependencies), you're certainly using it anyways

https://github.com/gradle/gradle/issues/15406 yes, it still forwards to jcenter 😞
