Codename One is starting a staged move from Maven Central to a repository we operate on Cloudflare R2.
What is Codename One? Codename One is an open-source framework for building native iOS, Android, desktop, and web apps from a single Java or Kotlin codebase. Learn more at codenameone.com.
This is not a story about Maven Central being bad. Sonatype runs expensive public infrastructure and has every right to define usage limits or sell a commercial service. Our release shape is simply a bad fit for those limits, and passing that infrastructure bill to Codename One users would make less sense than serving the same signed Maven layout ourselves.
PR #5497 implements phase one. It reduces what each release publishes and adds dual publication to R2. Maven Central remains authoritative during this phase.
We first talked about the repository move in Friday's release post.
