Release fails with Java 17

[gunnarmorling]

See the execution of the release job, ran into this one: https://issues.sonatype.org/browse/OSSRH-66257.

@aalmiray, I believe we've had this before. Did we do that XStream dependency version override to prevent it?

[aalmiray]

Don't remember seeing this error before. Does the release must use Java 17? Downgrading to 11 may solve the issue. Specifying an explicit version for xstream in the plugin's dependencies as shown at https://github.community/t/github-actions-bot-email-address/17204/4 would also work.

yes, no problem with going to 11, apart from the shame of not using the latest and greatest of course :)

So the release went out, using 11, and the artifacts are there: https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/moditect/ossquickstart/oss-quickstart-simple-archetype/1.0.0.Alpha1/. It still isn't found though :/

mvn archetype:generate -B \
  -DarchetypeGroupId=org.moditect.ossquickstart \
  -DarchetypeArtifactId=oss-quickstart-simple-archetype \
  -DarchetypeVersion=1.0.0.Alpha1 \
  -DgroupId=com.example.demos \
  -DartifactId=fancy-project \
  -Dversion=1.0.0-SNAPSHOT \
  -DmoduleName=com.example.fancy

Wondering whether some special trickery is needed in terms of deploying an archetype with the right metadata to Maven Central 🤔 ?

Release is done with 11, artifacts can also be resolved now.
