JCenter/Bintray is being Sunset. Alternative Needed?

[mattbertolini]

According to this announcement JCenter and Bintray are being sunset. This library is currently only distributed via JCenter/Bintray and I am wondering if there are plans to publish it elsewhere (like Maven Central)?

Temporarily we can probably work around this with

https://jitpack.io/#americanexpress/nodes and

    <dependency>
      <groupId>com.github.americanexpress</groupId>
      <artifactId>nodes</artifactId>
      <version>${aexp.graphql.version}</version>
    </dependency>

but since these are not really official ones as I understand, would be of course better to have this addressed by someone from the nodes team or authorized by them.

Did the announcement in April from bintray solve this issue?

UPDATE 4/27/2021: We listened to the community and will keep JCenter as a read-only repository indefinitely. Our customers and the community can continue to rely on JCenter as a reliable mirror for Java packages.

It doesn't help for any new versions published, but old versions shouldn't go away, can anyone confirm that is this not the case?
