Publishing to Maven Central in 2025 (OSSRH EOL)

Help/Discuss

Hi,

I’ve been publishing to Maven Central via OSSRH using the standard “maven-publish” and “signing” plugins for many years. However, it looks like OSSRH will stop working at the end of June 2025 [1]. The recommendation seems to be to either use the JReleaser plugin or some other non-official plugin [2]. Am I reading this right? Starting in June, Gradle will not be able to publish to Maven Central without using a third-party / community plugin? Thanks for any clarification!

Not quite.

If you read the big fat info box in the beginning of your second link, and the page it links to, you can continue using the “classical way” with maven-publish or any plugin supporting the “old way” by just using a different URL, and generating a new user token on the new system. :slight_smile:

Ah, OK, thanks! I had incorrectly assumed that this “Portal OSSRH Staging API” was part of OSSRH and also being EOL’ed. :+1:
