Get Eclipse JDT from maven central, not p2 update sites #2627
Description
Hi,
Proxies are breaking whenever I try to use Maven-Spotless with JDT, because Maven does not reroute eclipse p2 mirrors easily.
However, Eclipse JDT core is now available on central: https://central.sonatype.com/artifact/org.eclipse.jdt/org.eclipse.jdt.core
I have a PR for my project that shows it is working: bmarwell/jfmt#57
Maybe spotless could remove the p2 config and dependency and go back to using maven central instead?
That would solve many problems...
Thanks!

Agreed that it's easy to grab the latest version of Eclipse JDT. Reproducibility is hard though, because the transitive version ranges are wide. So when a new version of Eclipse gets released, old commits won't reproduce anymore because the transitives will update.
That's why we use p2 to determine which versions and dependencies we need, and then download those deps from maven central.

Is #1966 correct?
