What are the 'maven { url 'http://dl.bintray.com/asciidoctor/maven/' }' extensions for? about asciidoctor-gradle-plugin-backends-sample HOT 3 CLOSED

@marceloverdijk Thanks for the feedback :)

I only wonder why this is needed in build.gradle:

That line was only necessary because there were some issues propagating to the asciidoctor release into jcenter() and the release was found in that private repo sooner. Now that it is in jcenter() the line should be able to be removed.

In light of this, I cleaned up the build to only have jcenter() now.

I tried without this and then the generated docs look different (styling) but the do generate.
so I wonder how this works?

I am not certain why it is different. When I look at my very basic example it looks the same (although I don't have a keen eye for these things). Can you point out what is different? AFAIK..it should be the same.

Hmm, yes it works as expected now.
It's rather strange as I tried earlier without this extension maven repo, and hen I noticed I got some different font and highlighjs code blocks were not styled.
I noticed it only once and I cannot reproduce it anymore.

Thanks for your reply. I will close the issue.

No problem and thanks for the follow up. Just a thought...perhaps it was due to issues with the CDN serving some of the static resource (i.e. highlighjs).
