Could not find net.shibboleth.tool:xmlsectool:2.0.0

Question

Story: My Java is Gradle based project. Using pac4j dependency Here is my gradle configuration:

compile ('org.pac4j:pac4j-saml:3.0.0-RC1'){
    exclude group: 'com.google.guava', module: 'guava'
    exclude group: 'org.apache.santuario', module: 'xmlsec'
    exclude group: 'org.springframework', module: 'spring-core'
}

compile ('org.pac4j:pac4j-oauth:3.0.0-RC1')
compile ('org.pac4j:j2e-pac4j:4.0.0-RC1')

But I want to update pac4j dependencies because of security vulnerabilities, so I updated pac4j to the latest version which is 4.0.0-RC3

but now when I clean build my project is showing following error.

* What went wrong:

Shibboleth does not publish to maven central. See here

To get the dependency you need to add this to your resolvers in your gradle file:

maven { url "https://build.shibboleth.net/nexus/content/groups/public" }
