Use packages from Maven Central

TFS 2017

With upstream sources, you can use both private packages you've created and public packages from Maven Central. When you enable upstream sources in your feed, Azure Artifacts will save a copy of any packages you install from Maven central. Azure Artifacts also support other Maven upstream sources such as Google Maven Repository, Gradle Plugins, and JitPack.

Note

Maven snapshots are not supported with Maven upstream sources.
