[jira] [Commented] (OFBIZ-12171) Handling the JCenter shutdown

[Nicolas Malin (Jira)]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-12171?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17281465#comment-17281465 ]

Michael Brohl commented on OFBIZ-12171:
---------------------------------------

I am now able to build IFBiz without jCenter using mavenCentral and additional repositories hosting artifacts which are not available at mavenCentral.

With one exception for a dependency in the ldap plugin (cas-server) for xmldsig:
{noformat}
A problem occurred evaluating root project 'ofbiz'.
> Could not resolve all files for configuration ':runtimeClasspath'.
   > Could not find xmldsig-1.0.jar (javax.xml:xmldsig:1.0).
     Searched in the following locations:
         https://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2/javax/xml/xmldsig/1.0/xmldsig-1.0.jar{noformat}
Problem here is that the library jar is not available. The upgrade to a newer cas-server version requires an update of our OFBizActiveDirectoryAuthenticationHandler code due to API changes.

Work for another day (or night...).

> Citing Taher's message at [2]:
> Hello Everyone,
>  
> I received emails and checked resources [1] that seem to confirm JCenter from JFrog is going down and that the last day of operation for the repository is going to be May 1st 2021.
>  
> This is a big deal as many running instances will crash unless updated, so not only do future versions of OFBiz need to adapt, but also existing installations.
>  
> I'm not sure how to best handle this? Especially for production instances out there on older versions of OFBiz. Maybe one solution is to host the existing libraries in some temporary location or try to migrate them to MavenCentral ... Whatever is the solution I think we should make a fast move.
