The Fine Print

These are third party contributions, and are awesome. However, it is worth noting that they are NOT SUPPORTED by Sonatype, and if any support does exist, it will be through the contributor themselves.

Remember:
  • Use these contributions at the risk tolerance that you have
  • Do not file Sonatype support tickets related to third party contributions
  • DO file issues with the third party contributor
  • If support is needed, reach out to the contribution owner and see if a support agreement can be obtained

Phew, that was easier than I thought. Last but not least of all:

Have fun creating and using the Sonatype platform, we are glad to have you here!
