To answer part of my question: if a project has a dependency on xalan, and somehow maven-magic the artifact is said to be at http://shibboleth.internet2.edu/downloads/maven2/org/apache/xalan/xalan/2.7.1/xalan-2.7.1.pom
however, there, a redirect happens, and the pom or the jar just ends in the following content/page -------------------- <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" /> <title>Internet2 Shibboleth Project has moved</title> <style type="text/css"> h3, h4 {margin-bottom:0;} h3+p {margin-top:0;} . . . -------------------- in fact content of any jar or pom or sha downloaded is the html page explaining the user that *** Internet2 Shibboleth Project has moved *** what is wrong ? who has to act ? this for the xalan and maybe many other artifacts expected to be found at the http://shibboleth.internet2.edu/downloads/maven2 repository server Josef -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Stadelmann Josef [mailto:josef.stadelm...@axa-winterthur.ch] Gesendet: Mittwoch, 4.
