[Nicolas Malin (Jira)]

Jacques Le Roux commented on OFBIZ-12171:
-----------------------------------------

Confluence is smart, so it's still accessible from https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBIZ/Release+Management+Guide+for+OFBiz. We will change the Release Management Guide when we will have the wrapper in Maven Central. Rather than reusing this page I propose to create a new page and link it from the Release Management Guide when things will be settled down.

I'm also workin on moving security documentation not related to Release Management from the wiki to embedded AsciiDoc. Like Gradle update, user may need that too.

> 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.
