Where did the EclipseLink/Maven repository go to? (again)

Question

Yes, I know, the subject was asked before, but the repository moved again. Has anybody seen it? I would be much obliged.

Answer 1

As of EclipseLink 2.5.0 the EclipseLink respository is on Maven Central.

• http://search.maven.org/#search|ga|1|g%3A%22org.eclipse.persistence%22

The EclipseLink 2.4.2 release and the current development builds are on http://oss.sonatype.org:

<repository>
    <id>oss.sonatype.org</id>
    <name>OSS Sonatype Staging</name>
    <url>https://oss.sonatype.org/content/groups/staging</url>
</repository>

Older releases can be found at the following repository:

<repository>
   <id>EclipseLink</id>
   <url>http://download.eclipse.org/rt/eclipselink/maven.repo</url>
</repository>

Answer 2

Finally there's at least a reasonable explanation on Eclipse wiki pages for why it doesn't work, see http://wiki.eclipse.org/EclipseLink/Maven. The libraries are currently only hosted in a P2 repo which plain Maven doesn't understand. Basically, you have to proxy them through via Nexus or another repo manager. The page I linked to has instructions for configuring (open source) Nexus, the premium version can read P2 repos natively.
