Description

The sis-javafx and sis-console modules offer to users to download the EPSG geodetic dataset if they accept EPSG terms of use (the license is shown in a popup window or in the console). Data are downloaded from Maven central using a "http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/apache/sis/non-free/…" URL. But "http:" URLs do not work anymore with Maven Central; we need to use "https:". The URL needs to be updated.

We should take this opportunity for improving error message in JavaFX application. Currently it fails silently without any feedback to user.
