adyen-java-api-library VS adyen-3ds2-android

The Pay by Link capabilities are integrated using the open source Adyen Java API.

Of course, those requests are usually embedded inside the back-end of your application. Here is the same example using the latest release of our Java library.

This seemed pretty straightforward. I opened my Sonatype account, used the same namespace we already had set up for our Java API libraryJava API library, and started working on the CI adjustments. Soon enough I opened a PR and felt like this was going to be a piece of cake, just a couple more details to go. But there was one small detail I forgot to take into consideration…

The decision to move our public Android libraries ( Components and 3DS2 SDK) from JCenter to Maven Central seemed like a no-brainer. But here at Adyen, we like to “include different people to sharpen our ideas”, so I started to ask around and check if this was indeed the best approach. One thing we also considered was to do what Google did and host our own repository, this would protect us from having to worry about the external service shutting down on us again.
