Description Anirban Chakraborty CLA 2020-08-29 01:01:39 EDT 
Please take a note that all those XML files listed in the page in the given link that has URLs with HTTP, to maven repositories, no longer work.
https://download.eclipse.org/technology/m2e/discovery/

Eg. https://download.eclipse.org/technology/m2e/discovery/directory-1.5.xml
links to:
http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/.m2e/discovery-catalog/org.eclipse.m2e.discovery.oss-catalog-1.5.jar
but it should no longer work because Maven has stopped supporting plain HTTP requests and the url requires to be changed to:
https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/.m2e/discovery-catalog/org.eclipse.m2e.discovery.oss-catalog-1.5.jar

Can you please submit a PR to fix https://github.com/eclipse-m2e/m2e-discovery-catalog/blob/master/directory.xml ?
Comment 2 Fred Bricon CLA 2020-08-30 14:05:30 EDT 
I fixed it yesterday, even if that affected 6+ years old m2e versions, because that was an easy fix. 
Don't expect support for such old versions in the future though.
