Question

I m trying to add lib from bintray to jcenter but keep getting an error message ```Failed to send a message Path is already exist in JCenter POM project file is not valid ``` It s a Kotlin multiplatform project and it resolves just fine from a `dl bintray` url but somehow doesn t work for jcenter If I uncheck Is POM project I only get Path is already exist Any ideas what might be wrong with my repo It s here <https bintray com futuremind koru>

mbonnin · Answer

This might be because jcenter mirrored your project Was it on mavenCentral before

mbonnin · Answer

Or rather it might be conflicting with <https bintray com mklimczak maven recycler fast scroll> since they re using the same prefix com futuremind

mbonnin · Answer

I m never 100 sure what the rules are Maybe try to publish with `com futuremind koru`

Michal Klimczak · Answer

it s not been on maven central it must be the second reason I did publish it on my account and now I m publishing under futuremind

Michal Klimczak · Answer

by `com futuremind koru` you mean the directory structure

mbonnin · Answer

For groupId

Michal Klimczak · Answer

okay I get it need to think where they should all go and possibly move things around thank you very much

mbonnin · Answer

Maybe bintray blocks all prefixes as soon as someone allocates a groupId E g if someone takes `com mycompany awesomelib` that would prevent anyone else to publish to `com mycompany` That would somehow make sense

mbonnin · Answer

Maybe publishing to `com mycompany someotherlib` with user2 would work or maybe the original `com mycompany` prefix and everything under is now reserved for user1

mbonnin · Answer

In which case you ll have to somehow transfer ownership of `com futuremind` to user2 or add user2 to the user1 organization maybe

mbonnin · Answer

Ultimately you might have to contact their support they re usually quite responsive for these kind of things

mbonnin · Answer

PS mavenCentral is another option that has faster upload speeds and better guarantees for users as it doesn t allow changing published libs

Michal Klimczak · Answer

I will start with contacting the support and see where it gets me slightly smiling face
