Hi there,
I'm trying to download ojdbc8 from the Maven repo using Gradle (version 4.5.1) and I'm getting an error about the POM enconding. I believe this has been fixed in the past (more details in the comments in ojdbc8 12.2.0.1 missing from Oracle maven repository?), but somehow regressed now.
My Gradle configuration is as follows:
...
dependencies {
compile group: 'com.oracle.jdbc', name: 'ojdbc8', version:'12.2.0.1'
}
repositories {
mavenCentral()
maven {
credentials {
username 'username'
password 'password'
}
url '[https://www.oracle.com/content/secure/maven/content](https://www.oracle.com/content/secure/maven/content)
}
}
And when I try to do Gradle build I get the following error:
FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.
* What went wrong:
Could not resolve all files for configuration ':compileClasspath'.

According to the other discussion, this means that the encoding on the POM files are different than UTF-8.
I've download one of the problematic POM files to confirm this, e.g. https://www.oracle.com/content/secure/maven/content/com/oracle/jdbc/ojdbc8/12.2.0.1/ojdbc8-12.2.0.1.pom and was able to confirm that they in fact have a different enconding, other than the one specified in the POM file (UTF-8).
Could someone help fixing this?
