Description

The builds in GitHub Actions are currently failing because they have cached a malformed version of the rome:rome:0.9 dependency. The dependency as cached is from the wso2 repository and prior to FLUME-3419 we had work arounds for this malformed pom. Now that this repository has been removed we need to clear the build cache so we can get the correct pom from maven central.

According to the GitHub Actions docs on the java-setup caching we should already have gotten a new cache key because FLUME-3419 changed pom.xml files. So I think we've hit a bug.

The GitHub Actions docs on cache management indicate that there isn't a way to manually clear the cache via API. That leaves us with:

• wait 7 days for the cache to clear
• disable maven dependency caching (perhaps toggling it?)
