Publish Azure Devops Artifacts to Maven Central - maven

Can any one suggest a flow how to publish Azure Devops server 2019 maven artifacts (exposes API) to Maven central for a more global access?
update:
let me rephrase my issue.
my team uses on-premise Azure Devops to develop and host android packages used as API for other applications.
when the API version is stable we want to publish the API packages (in the on-premise artifacts) to Maven central, i wish to use the release management so i could use the approve mechanism

Azure Artifacts, part of Azure DevOps, offers the ability to host and share Maven, npm, NuGet, and Python package feeds within your organization.
If you want to host the packages on Maven central instead of Azure Artifacts. You would check how to upload packages to Maven central on Maven side:
https://maven.apache.org/repository/guide-central-repository-upload.html
If your goal is only sharing packages publicly, you may try Azure DevOps Service (https://dev.azure.com), which support sharing your packages publicly. This feature currently only support Azure DevOps Service.

How to scan Local builds using jFrog Xray

We have Artifactory and Xray for our developers and we have Azure DevOps pipelines integrated with these tools where the builds are scanned for each pipeline execution.
But when developers are doing local builds from their development workstations they also need to be scanned before merging to the repos in ADO.
So we are looking for some possibility where the developers are able to connect to Xray from their IDE client itself.
They are using IDEs like, Visual Studio and Visual Studio Code
need to Run the local builds of - NuGet, Maven, Gradle, Android, IOS, Nodes..
Can anyone suggest how this can be achieved from IDEs or CLIs like (jFrog CLI, or git bash, etc...)
You can use the JFrog VS Code Extension which allows you to scan project dependencies using JFrog Xray in VS Code.
It allows developers to view panels displaying vulnerability information about the components and their dependencies directly in their VS Code IDE. The extension also allows developers to track the status of the code while it is being built, tested and scanned on the CI server.

How to work with Azure Devops Server to use Universal Package Task

I am working with Azure pipelines where the microservice has a dependency which has different versions.(Example: abc-1.0.1, abc-1.0.2) How should I store those dependency in Azure Devops
I came across The Universal Package task, which is currently not supported with Azure Devops Server. How should be the versioning of packages(created by gradle build) maintained while working with Azure Devops Server.
As currently different versions of build/jar is required by microservices. In order to maintain those versions, names, what is the best way in Azure Devops. (Note: As mentioned we are working with Azure Devops Server, not Azure Devops Services)
The Universal Package task is not totally unsupported on Azure DevOps Server. It can be available on TFS 2018, Azure DevOps Server 2019 and Azure DevOps Server 2020.
So, if the version of your Azure DevOps Server (TFS) is TFS 2018 or later, you can use this task in your pipeline as normal.
If your TFS version is lower than TFS 2018 and does not support using the Universal Package task, you can try to call the Azure CLI "az artifacts universal" in the pipeline to publish and download the Universal Packages.
az artifacts universal publish: to publish the Universal Packages to the Artifacts feed.
az artifacts universal download: to download the Universal Packages from the Artifacts feed.

Automated builds over cloud using custom dependencies

We have an on-premise infrastructure with git repository, a CI server and an artifact repository. We are using gradle in our project. This is working perfectly fine for our regular CICD processes.
We are planning to move our code to cloud using private Github and Travis-CI for CI. The problem is that we have a couple of third party jars that are not available in any artifact repositories on the internet, e.g. maven central and others. The on-premise infrastructure worked fine as we had manually installed those jar files in our internal artifact repository.
Our builds on travis are now failing. What is the best way to provide these third party jars to travis during build time?
P.S.: The third party jars are drivers provided by some of our vendors. These are not open source and cannot be pushed to artifact repositories on the internet.

Remote artifact repository vs local

I'm building few scala libraries and use them in business projects. To share libraries i use 'publishLocal' in sbt. This command uploads artifacts into my local folder. This is ok, it's fast but when i work from another machine i have to republish all this libraries because some changes had been made. So, this my is question: Is my workflow correct? Or i have to publish my artifacts to remote binary repository (ex. nexus) and add it to my business projects as resolvers? Should i use 'publishLocal' at all?
As indicated in the comments, it is strongly suggested to use a Repository Manager such as Nexus Repository Manager, or Artifactory.
You might try Nexus Repository Manager 3.x, as it should help quite a bit with your problem. You can install it on your server, as well as locally if you'd like as it can be used with other tools such as npm, NuGet, etc...
You can download the Open Source Software Edition of Nexus Repository Manager from this link: https://www.sonatype.com/download-oss-sonatype
