We are removing mirrors of third-party packages such as maven-central from packages.atlassian.com
We're updating how we provide packages for customers and partners to develop with our platforms. Starting February 1, 2025, we will discontinue providing third-party packages on packages.atlassian.com. Instead, customers and partners must fetch these packages directly from the original upstream repositories.
For details on how this change affects you and for guidance on migration, please refer to the documentation available at http://developer.atlassian.com .

This GA release was made available on 30 July 2024. Note that our platform release is 9.0.1 due to an issue during the release process. For partners who have registered their compatibility directly under “9.0.0” ahead of time, please change it to “9.0.1” as we’ll be delisting it off Marketplace in the next couple of days.
This release doesn’t support Server licenses. If you have a Server license, check out your options for upgrading.
Midway through this quarter, we’ll be adding new Data Center app scanners to our suite of scanners (Ecoscanner) that scans Data Center apps listed on the Marketplace.
Here is what we’ll be scanning for:
Use of hardcoded secrets in Marketplace Data Center apps
Potential malware in Marketplace Data Center apps
To expand on this, the new DC app scanners will include:
Secret scanner: The new secret scanner will look for any hard-coded secrets in DC apps that could potentially pose a security risk if exposed. We engineered the scanner to detect secrets and manage potential security risks, ensuring that customer data remains protected from unauthorized access.
Malware scanner: Atlassian has implemented a robust malware scanning system for all Data Center applications in the Marketplace. This scan aims to identify and mitigate potential malware threats, thereby enhancing the security and integrity of our DC applications.
If a risk is detected: Atlassian will alert the app developer so they may investigate. If there is a critical risk, we recommend that Marketplace Partners notify customers.
We won’t begin issuing these new tickets to partners at this time; this is a preliminary announcement and an opportunity for partners to prepare. Atlassian plans on issuing tickets after August 15th 2024 via the AMS Jira project.
We are committed to working collaboratively with partners to continue improving the security of our Marketplace and fostering trust with our customers.
Partners with Partner Portal access can view the announcement in the Partner Portal blog.

We're introducing a Data Center security checklist and best practices for admins. This guide will provide you with valuable insights on safely deploying and administering Atlassian self-managed software.
We value your input and actively encourage feedback from the community. Your contributions will help us refine this guideline into the most reliable source of information for admins. Please select the "Provide feedback about this article" link located at the bottom of the document.
Confluence Data Center is now shipping an EAP with approximately 95% of the targeted breaking changes for the platform release. We encourage marketplace partners to test and provide feedback.
Get your app ready in three steps:
A new RFC is ready for review at https://community.developer.atlassian.com/t/rfc-48-the-default-theme-setting-in-confluence-data-center/79526.
The prototype version of the new login experience for Data Center is now available. Download this .jar file and test it against your apps to identify any potential conflicts.
This prototype is intended purely as a test to check how the new two-step verification experience affects your apps' functionality and determine if any changes are necessary. The scope, functionality, API, quality, look and feel, and security level of the prototype aren’t representative of the final solution.
The production version of two-step verification will be developed separately from the prototype version but the fundamental technical concept will remain unchanged.
This prototype is for testing purposes only. Don’t install it on production environments.
To install the app, follow https://confluence.atlassian.com/upm/installing-add-ons-273875715.html#InstallingMarketplaceapps-InstallaDataCenterorServerapp. In case the upload is disabled, check https://confluence.atlassian.com/jirakb/how-to-re-enable-plugin-upload-1364557898.html.
Watch this video guide for more information on the prototype and how to test it.
As part of our ongoing commitment to security, we’ll cease publishing development releases of Data Center product artifacts to the Atlassian Maven repository. Moving forward, only artifacts used in the Early Access Program (EAP) and final product releases will be available to maintain the highest level of security for our customers.
