Three days after deploying to Bintray, Gradle on my laptop is not able to resolve artifacts that should be available

Project: cjwizard Artifacts: cjwizard and cjwizard-demo, both version 1.0.9

I just took over this project from the original owner and I am new to both the maven deploy process and Bintray.

After doing a mvn:deploy which (according to my Maven logs) was successful, I could see the pom.xml for both cjwizard AND cjwizard-demo, but I have a small project that is using gradle to try to pull down both cjwizard and cjwizard-demo and it's failing.

(EDIT: I modified my build.gradle to just download one artifact at a time. This is a simple test project, and there are no other dependencies, other than cjwizard)

My build.gradle looks like this

group 'test'
version '1.0-SNAPSHOT'

apply plugin: 'java'

sourceCompatibility = 1.8

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
    jcenter()
}

dependencies {
    compile 'com.github.cjwizard:cjwizard:1.0.9'
}

(I normally use gradle on my own projects. I am using maven to build cjwizard because the project was already set up to use maven)

I'm getting an error stating that the cjwizard artifact can't be resolved. Same problem with cjwizard-demo.

Am I doing something wrong?

Also, are open-source projects ineligible for email support? Thanks

Solution

  • To sum up, as SteveSobol mentioned in his comment, pushing to a Bintray repository does not push to JCenter.

    JCenter is a public well known repository, but, it is one of many managed in Bintray. In Bintray every one can open an Open Source repository.

    In case you have a repository that you want to work with which is not maven central or JCenter you can connect your build tool to it easily, see the doc:

    Go to https://bintray.com/cjwizard/CJWizard and click: SET ME UP

    It is in the upper right corner of the page.

    Or do the following:

    To resolve with gradle, edit your build.gradle:

    repositories {
    maven {
        url  "http://dl.bintray.com/cjwizard/CJWizard" 
    }
}

    To resolve with maven, edit your settings.xml:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<settings xsi:schemaLocation='http://maven.apache.org/SETTINGS/1.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/settings-1.0.0.xsd'
          xmlns='http://maven.apache.org/SETTINGS/1.0.0' xmlns:xsi='http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance'>
