Steps to Reproduce

1. Bootstrap a speakeasy project selecting Java SDK target.
2. Configure publishing. Follow the recommendation to use the maven sonatype central portal.
3. Trigger the SDK publish action.

Note:
I was able to successfully publish an SDK by setting useSonatypeLegacy: true in the workflow.yaml. See: https://github.com/vishalg0wda/petstore-java/actions/runs/11992712833
