You need to talk to Oracle about this. They do not upload the artifacts and the license does not allow it.
There is btw a WebLogic Repository at Oracle which does contain the driver (under a rather strange coordinate). Since you must run your own Repository anyway to have reliable and repeatable builds you would normally just upload the driver there.

Feels like an arbitrary policy to me. Or should there be workflows to remove items from there, and replace with a 302? While that could be to repos elswhere, they could also be to HTML pages with mvn.exe handling that and communicating that clearly in the build log. Some ten years ago a mal-configured WebSense at an airline was flling a corporate Maven cache jars and poms suffixes that were actually HTML error pages. Maven choked silently then and I'm not sure it has ever been fixed. In a quick test now, if I do "ls > ~/.m2/repository/foo/bar/baz.pom" (and jar), the build fails with a proximate cause message. The jars and poms are not checked again for correctness once in the cache. Anyway the jar/pom ingesting side of Maven could easily handle deprecation, obsolesence and outright deletion better than it does.
