state that
    "Great progress, but still many users that need to update their
     environments prior to the January 15 HTTPS cutover date"
and referring to
{{     https://central.sonatype.org/articles/2019/Apr/30/http-access-to-repo1mavenorg-and-repomavenapacheorg-is-being-deprecated/}}

{{ Main derby's build.xml download junit.jar from}}
    <property name="junit.url" value="http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/junit/junit/3.8.2/junit-3.8.2.jar"/>

{{ This url should be, at least, prudently updated with "https" instead of "http".}}

An "ant clobber + ant all + ant buildjars" sequence succeeds with https.
