Fails to Build because of missing dependency 'javax.transaction:jta:1.0.1B'

[vamshikr]

The jar file for 'javax.transaction:jta:1.0.1B' dependency is missing on maven central (http://mvnrepository.com/artifact/javax.transaction/jta/1.0.1B). This is causing Webgoat-Legacy builds to fail.

[vamshikr]

I tried changing the javax.transaction:jta: dependency to 1.1 version. The build then succeeds. However, I have not tried running it.

Was there a plan to cut a new release of this, say v6.0.2, so that we don't have to reimplement this fix every time we want to build the latest stable release ourselves?

There was no plan to cut another release of 6.x. Does the 7.x work for you? If not, we could consider cutting a release. 7.x should be close to as stable as 6.x now, can you give it a try and see if it supports your use case?

Changing dependency version to 1.1 worked for me.I could build the WebGoat Legacy source.
