For the record:
I recently filed OSSRH-5036 [1] to have broken metadata for
org.easytesting:fest-assert fixed on Maven Central (again).
Currently, the metadata does not list version 1.4:
<groupId>org.easytesting</groupId>
<artifactId>fest-assert</artifactId>
<version>1.2</version>
<versioning>
<versions>
<version>1.2</version>
<version>1.0</version>
<version>1.1</version>
<version>1.3</version>
</versions>
<lastUpdated>20100804153332</lastUpdated>
</versioning>
</metadata>
Hopefully, this issue will be fixed soon. Until then, it's well
possible that users won't be able to resolve fest-assert 1.4.
Best regards and a happy new year.
