Unable to get metadata for build-info-extractor-gradle

[Jahrhause]

Hi
Im trying to build my projects which worked fine last week.
Now I get the following error:

Could not resolve org.jfrog.buildinfo:build-info-extractor-gradle:latest.release.
     Required by:
         project :
      > Failed to list versions for org.jfrog.buildinfo:build-info-extractor-gradle.
         > Unable to load Maven meta-data from https://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2/org/jfrog/buildinfo/build-info-extractor-gradle/maven-metadata.xml.
            > Could not get resource 'https://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2/org/jfrog/buildinfo/build-info-extractor-gradle/maven-metadata.xml'.
               > Could not GET 'https://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2/org/jfrog/buildinfo/build-info-extractor-gradle/maven-metadata.xml'.
                  > Connect to repo.maven.apache.org:443 [repo.maven.apache.org/199.232.40.215] failed: connect timed out

In my build.gradle i have:

dependencies {
    classpath "org.jfrog.buildinfo:build-info-extractor-gradle:latest.release"
  }

When I try to open the urls in question in the browser I get a 404. Have you moved the files or has it been removed?

@Jahrhause, thanks for reporting this.
it looks like you're downloading the plugin from the Maven Central repository, however, we publish the Gradle plugin to JCenter.
Can you please try to set the JCenter repository in your Gradle script as described in the plugin's documentation?
We'd like to hear your feedback for that.

This can be resolved by putting:
plugins { id "com.jfrog.artifactory" version "versionNumber" }

below the buildscript block.
