----------------------------------

             Summary: Maven repos should be https
                 Key: PDFBOX-3022
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-3022
             Project: PDFBox
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Ben McCann
            Priority: Critical
             Fix For: 2.0.0


I noticed there are 2 http Maven repos. Only https should be used for security 
reasons. See 
http://blog.ontoillogical.com/blog/2014/07/28/how-to-take-over-any-java-developer/

This one you can simply change from http to https:
./parent/pom.xml:            
<url>http://jbig2-imageio.googlecode.com/svn/maven-repository/</url>

This one there isn't an https version available:
./parent/pom.xml:            <url>http://www.mygrid.org.uk/maven/repository</ur

What library did the mygrid repo have to be added for? The myGrid Maven 
repository was mainly used for development of Taverna, which has since moved to 
the Apache Software Foundation, and uses https://repository.apache.org/ and 
mirrors to Maven Central. Other software they publish has been gradually moved 
to https://bintray.com/ which should also offer secure connections.
