Goodbye Jarvana

After five years, I've decided to take down Jarvana, the maven repository search engine. For a year and a half now, I have been unable to obtain new central maven repository data. Since up-to-date data is critical to application development, not being able to index new maven repository data essentially makes Jarvana obsolete. Although Jarvana is gone, I'm happy that Jarvana was able to helps many thousands of developers over the last five years. Jarvana was a great learning experience, since it represented my first serious experience with Lucene. Thank you to Doug Cutting and the rest of the Lucene developers for creating and maintaining such a great open-source project. You guys are awesome. Jarvana wouldn't have been possible without Lucene and several other Apache Software Foundation projects.

    Thank you so much Deron, for all you did for so long.
    The maven repository you provided made it so easy to research what we needed all in one place in our Mule POJO projects.
    We owe you a lot in time and knowledge :-)
    Best of luck in your new endeavors, and please let us know here if we thousands of devoted users can return the favor somehow !
