BioFormats reader fails due to broken Maven download URL

[eduardchelebian]

Hi!

While I think this problem is likely from an indirect dependency on scyjava/cjdk rather than wsidata, I wanted to raise it here in case there is a workaround that could be integrated downstream.

When using the bioformats reader, the pipeline attempts to download Maven from this URL and returns a 404 error.
HTTPError: 404 Client Error: Not Found for url: https://dlcdn.apache.org/maven/maven-3/3.9.9/binaries/apache-maven-3.9.9-bin.tar.gz

Environment:

• Python 3.10
• wsidata from from latest pip
• JVM managed via scyjava

Installing the current version was a workaround the issue:

from scyjava._cjdk_fetch import cjdk_fetch_maven
cjdk_fetch_maven("https://dlcdn.apache.org/maven/maven-3/3.9.10/binaries/apache-maven-3.9.10-bin.tar.gz")

So maybe there could be cleaner way to circumvent this.

Thanks for your work in these great tools!

Thanks a lot for the workaround. I've known this problem for a while, but I didn't investigate it much. I will come back to this issue in the future.
