At the time of writing, 2.3.1 on Maven Central is incomplete:
../
asciidoctorj-2.3.1-bin.zip 2020-06-17 08:05 51357725
asciidoctorj-2.3.1-javadoc.jar 2020-06-17 08:05 686532
asciidoctorj-2.3.1.pom.asc 2020-06-17 08:05 543
This causes the build to fail. It's not clear if the files were originally on Maven Central and have since been deleted or if the build was resolving them from elsewhere. All of 2.3.1 is available from JCenter so the latter is possible prior to the tightening of permissions on repo.spring.io.
