This issue can be seen in the OSS Index site using: https://ossindex.sonatype.org/search?type=&q=pkg%3Amaven%2Forg.jgroups%2Fjgroups%402.6.17.GA

[aikebah]

@ken-duck any updates on this?

[jeremylong]

@aikebah interestingly https://ossindex.sonatype.org/component/pkg:maven/org.jgroups/jgroups works. So it is definitely the version number that is throwing this off. I'm not sure what versions they are listing on the page as I do not have an account and the registration fails with a 500 for me.

[jeremylong]

Actually - after logging in I was able to find the version 2.16.7.GA in the list. But if you click the link it takes you to a 500 error.

So - half a year later this issue still persists even when going via the website at
https://ossindex.sonatype.org/component/pkg:maven/org.jgroups/jgroups
and clicking on the 2.6.21.Final, it leads to a 500 error on
https://ossindex.sonatype.org/component/pkg:maven/org.jgroups/[email protected]
@sonatype-zion has this project been abandoned?
