Is it possible to to add Maven Central as an upstream source for an artifact feed in Azure DevOps?
I am currently using Nexus as a proxy to Maven Central but I would like to migrate to Azure DevOps.
It looks like there is a request for the functionality, but I wasn't sure if someone was clever enough to solve it with a Maven plugin or something else.

Hope this helps.
