Description
Sorry for posting this here but I didn't know any place else.
On your webpage https://www.adobe.com/devnet/xmp.html the old Java XMP version [5.1.3](https://www.adobe.com/devnet/xmp/library/eula-xmp-library-java.html) is linked. Then on [maven central](https://search.maven.org/artifact/com.adobe.xmp/xmpcore) one can find a slightly newer version [6.1.10](https://search.maven.org/artifact/com.adobe.xmp/xmpcore/6.1.10/jar) but still it is from 2016. But then here on github there is no java version at all. So please add repo for the Java SDK here - this would be highly appreciated!

**Update in Nov. 2022**
Leonard Rosenthol the chief PDF architect commented on this thread (thank you Leonard for honoring us here) and stated the following:
> The 6.1.11 [...] is an official Adobe distribution. You can/should use that as it also includes an updated license file.
I have to admit: I am (and probably the whole community is) now totally confused...
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reviewing the current XMP-Toolkit-SDK repository, the Adobe XMP webpage, and the com.adobe.xmp/xmpcore releases on Maven Central. Determine the intended Java SDK source and supported release, then define completion as a Java SDK repository or distribution with an unambiguous version and license story.
