Why only does Maven Azure DevOps Artifacts only store dependencies from Maven Central? (MuleSoft)

Question

I have configured Azure DevOps Maven task to connect to an Artifacts feed to store the artifacts and dependencies, but I only see the Maven Central dependencies, none of the others are stored.

Here is the MuleSoft pom.xml:

The artifacts are stored in Azure Artifacts, but as shown only from Maven Central and we need the other there too:

Is there a way to get the MuleSoft dependencies stored too?

Answer 1

In azure devops Artifacts, there are only four public upstream sources: npmjs.com, NuGet.org, Maven Central and PyPI, that's why the dependencies from MuleSoft are not stored.

And as of this time, however, custom upstream sources are only available for npm.
