Build command throws 501 HTTPS Required error

[yuxuan-ji]

The current build command mvn clean package results in a build failure due to 501 errors

Detailed error:

Return code is: 501 , ReasonPhrase:HTTPS Required. -> [Help 1]

This is because of the following change and can be fixed by using https in the repository tag of pom.xml :

  <repositories>
    <repository>
      <id>maven</id>
      <url>http://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2/</url> -> <url>https://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2/</url>
    </repository>
  </repositories>

source: this was reported and resolved on the CS451 Piazza, I just copied it over here
