Description

The currently referenced 4.5.5 versions of edu.ucar:grib and edu.ucar:cdm (released in Mar 2015), as well as being branch EOL themselves, depend on many other project/branch/version EOL artifacts for which much later and active versions are often available. The list is as follows:

• edu.ucar:grib depends on the project EOL bzip2. Much more recent versions of edu.ucar:grib exist that no longer depend on bzip2 (note: Jbzip2 is hosted on the Google Code site, which was shut down for active development in 2015. The project was never migrated to another site, e.g. Github).

• edu.ucar:grib depends on the 2.0.4 EOL version of org.jdom:jdom2

• edu.ucar:cdm depends on the 2.6.2 branch EOL version of net.sf.ehcache:ehcache-core

• edu.ucar:cdm depends on the 2.2.0 EOL version of org.quartz-scheduler:quartz for which active versions are available. In turn org.quartz-scheduler:quartz depends on the 0.9.1.1 branch EOL version of c3p0:c3p0. Later versions of quartz have moved to the active com.mchange:c3p0

• edu.ucar:grib depends on the 2.5.0 branch EOL version of com.google.protobuf:protobuf-java for which active versions are available.

Request moving to a much later version of edu.ucar, or alternative artifacts to address all the above EOL issues (lack of active support for vulnerabilities and bugs).
