JCenter Shutdown Impact on Gradle Builds

JFrog's shutdown of Bintray and JCenter affects Gradle builds that rely on these repositories for dependency resolution, plugin publishing, or package hosting. Gradle 7.0 will deprecate the jcenter() API and switch default templates to Maven Central. Developers should audit their builds for JCenter usage, migrate dependencies to Maven Central, and use content filters for packages not yet migrated. The post also covers security risks like dependency confusion when switching repositories, and recommends enabling Gradle's dependency verification to guard against supply chain attacks.
