404 on dash-licenses redirect URL - Breaking Keyple/Keypop CI pipelines

Summary

404 Error on Maven redirect link for Dash Licenses tool (LATEST version)

Steps to reproduce

  1. Try to download the latest Dash Licenses tool using the official redirect URL provided in the README: https://repo.eclipse.org/service/local/artifact/maven/redirect?r=dash-licenses&g=org.eclipse.dash&a=org.eclipse.dash.licenses&v=LATEST

  2. Attempt the download via curl, wget, or directly in a web browser.

  3. Observe the HTTP 404 response.

What is the current bug behavior?

The server returns a 404 Not Found error. The redirect service on repo.eclipse.org seems unable to resolve the LATEST keyword or find the artifact in the specified repository.

What is the expected correct behavior?

The URL should redirect to the latest stable .jar file of the Dash Licenses tool (e.g., version 1.1.0 or newer) to allow automated tools to fetch the most recent version without hardcoding version numbers.

Relevant logs and/or screenshots

The failure is clearly visible in the Keyple project's automated builds. You can find a live example of the failure in this GitHub Action run:

Impact

This issue is blocking the automated compliance and license control for the Keyple and Keypop projects. Our CI pipelines are currently broken as they cannot retrieve the necessary tool to validate legal requirements before release.
