Shadow plugin old versions not available

Help/Discuss

Hi folks,

I’m in the process of upgrading a kotlin project using the shadow plugin and wanted to update the plugin from version 6.1.0 to 7.x.x, however I cannot find the 7.x.x (or anything < 8.3.0 for that matter at any distribution network.

It appears that the John Engelman repo’s no longer exist in maven:
https://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2/com/github/jengelman => 404
https://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2/com/github/johnrengelman => 404
Central Repository: com/gradleup/shadow/shadow-gradle-plugin only contains versions >= 8.3.0.

I can always make a larger leap forward but I was curious where the intervening packages ended up. I don’t see any documentation indicating older versions would be pulled.

Thanks,
Alex

At the old coordinates it was never on Maven Central it seems, but always only on Gradle Plugin Portal: https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/com.github.johnrengelman.shadow/com.github.johnrengelman.shadow.gradle.plugin

@Vampire much appreciated. Looks like I’m able to pull the right versions using those targets. :pray:
