Is your maven repo working?

this pom fails to download the aspose jar:

Hi Tom,


Thanks for your inquiry. I have attached a sample “IntelliJ Idea” project here for your reference. Please download “AsposeWordsMavenTest.zip” and see how it goes on your end. I hope, this helps.

Best regards,

looking at your repo I find that I can not download the pom file.

If I do a GET call on this URL:
https://repository.aspose.com/words/

I get a status code of 200 but no content is returned.

do you need to be logged in to get the pom contents?

here’s the console outpout:

I have found the cause of my error. Our company only allows us to used mirrored repos. So your repo never was used.

Hi Tom,


Thanks for the additional information. Did you manage to fix the issue on your side or are you still in need of assistance?

Best regards,
