Bitbucket Packages now supports Maven and npm registries 🎉

[#1]

We're excited to announce that Bitbucket Packages now supports Maven and npm alongside the existing container registry. You can now publish and install Java and JavaScript packages right where your code and pipelines already live and no more juggling separate tools, permissions, or billing.

Here's what's included:

• Publish and install Maven and npm packages using your existing tools

• Permissions are inherited automatically from your repository

• Browse, inspect, and manage all your packages from the Packages tab at the workspace, project, or repository level

• Storage and network limits are shared across all package types (containers, Maven, and npm) under the same plan

If you're already using Bitbucket Packages for container images, Maven and npm are ready to go in your repository's Packages tab. Check out our Maven support documentation and npm support documentation for step-by-step setup guides.

What's coming next?

We're actively working on PyPI and NuGet registries, along with immutable tags and per package type usage breakdowns. Your feedback has shaped every expansion so far, and we want to keep that going.

Let us know how Maven and npm support is working for your team, what you'd like to see next, or anything that would make Packages more useful for your workflow. If you need any support, drop a comment below and we'll be happy to help!

Great! I'm looking forward to NuGet support

[Matt Niedzielski]

Any plans for Composer support?

[Arjan de Meijer]

Do you have a roadmap in mind for other languages as well: Nuget, PIP, etc. Thanks in advance!

[Dirk Lachowski]

@Hamreet Kaur  Do you have support for automatic snapshot cleanup (e.g. "keep the last 10")? Due to GitHub's ongoing problems, we're looking into switching and a feature complete Maven repo would make it a much easier decision.

Why do you not support annual plans?

[Hamreet Kaur]

Hey everyone, thanks for the feedback! NuGet and PyPI support is coming soon, just a few weeks away. We also just released our Immutable tags feature yesterday for container registry, give it a try!

Please keep the requests coming, we'd love to hear which other package types and features you'd like to see supported next. Regarding annual plans, our team is actively working on prioritizing this and we hope to have an update soon. Stay tuned!

[Hamreet Kaur]

Hey @Dirk Lachowski, thanks for reaching out! For automatic snapshot cleanup, we don't currently have a built-in "keep the last N versions" policy. This is on our roadmap, though we don't have a committed timeline to share just yet. Are there any other Packages features that would factor into your decision?

Are there any other Packages features that would factor into your decision?

To a lesser degree, proxy repositories. Currently, if you want this feature it's either Artifactory or Nexus and both come with a price tag and / or the need to self-host them - something we want to avoid in the future. With the GitHub Maven repo, you also have no proxy support and no snapshot cleanup, so you are on par. But we're planing to leave GH because the availability of runners and the stability of the whole platform has just become too bad.

We're currently using our own Nexus, so there is no immediate demand to switch and I'm fine with waiting if it's not "in the next 5 to 7 years" but something in the less far future.
