Ha! They renamed the artifact, that is why I could never find it.
Version 5 was:
<groupId>org.osgi</groupId>
<artifactId>org.osgi.compendium</artifactId>
And Version 6 is:
<groupId>org.osgi</groupId>
<artifactId>osgi.cmpn</artifactId>
Not sure who decided that the abbreviated form was such an improvement. Saving
a few bytes in the name helps anybody?
Best regards,
