Ah! After some more bashing around in Github and Maven central searching, I found this: https://github.com/apache/maven/blob/master/maven-resolver-provider/src/main/java/org/apache/maven/repository/internal/MavenRepositorySystemUtils.java
This looks like the replacement for this: https://maven.apache.org/ref/3.3.9/maven-aether-provider/apidocs/org/apache/maven/repository/internal/MavenRepositorySystemUtils.html ...which suggests to me that maven-resolver-provider is the replacement for maven-aether-provider going forward. If so, I see that the only release of this is 3.5.0-alpha-1 ( http://search.maven.org/#artifactdetails%7Corg.apache.maven%7Cmaven-resolver-provider%7C3.5.0-alpha-1%7Cjar ). Am I on the right track with all this? Should I follow the general spirit of this ( https://github.com/eclipse/aether-demo/tree/master/aether-demo-snippets/src/main/java/org/eclipse/aether/examples), but squinting and making these replacements along the way?
