Hello team,

Yesterday JCenter was down for some time, due to which I was unable to
start the OFBiz server (because the build was failed).
Status of JCenter can be found at [1].

This is a severe issue because it may be possible during any production
deployment, JCenter is down. Do we have any solution for the issue?
Please let me know if I am missing anything.
