A released artifact is immutable.

There could always be exceptions to this, though, especially where intellectual property claims are concerned.

I'm not sure what prompted the removal of jstl, and I tend to agree that we need a _very_ good reason to remove this artifact from the central repository. I'm only pointing out that there's simply no way to have such an iron-clad policy as you describe.

The way we've dealt with this type of thing in the JBoss repository is
we move it to a "deprecated" repository.  So if people need to keep
their builds working while migrating to the new GAV, they can add the
deprecated repo to a profile in their settings.  This process seems to
work ok for us.  Maybe we should have a similar setup with central?

Yes, as I said, artifacts at central should never change as it will break
people's builds. I thought that was the policy.

It was there before.  I still have the copy of the artifact and pom in
our Nexus proxy of central.  The change broke some of our builds, that's
how I found out about it.

actually I think javax.jstl NEVER have been on maven.central.
It originally was hosted on java.net, but they killed parts of their
maven repo while migrating from sun to oracle.

There is of course an ALv2 version of jstl:

I though artifacts were supposed to
never change at central... This could
break people's builds.
