The https version isn't available either. Attempts to reference it in the
web.xml file abort with the following message:

Connection timed out: connect    web.xml

A temporary solution is to remove or comment out the reference to the dtd
from the web.xml file until the issue is resolved which will permit you to
deploy your application.

Perhaps some other organization should step up and take responsibility for
caching this file as Oracle doesn't seem to be the benevolent Java steward
one would have hoped it would be. Perhaps Google itself could cache this on
one of their servers and refactor the GWT plugin to reference that.

I am growing increasingly weary of Oracle and their handling of Java. Makes
me regret the day I ever thought they might be good for the language and I
hope Google whoops their butt in court over the Android suit. And don't even
get me started on their latest shenanigans with Apple over the JRE.
