Description

Gradle game template version checker doesn't find new versions. Project Templates - com.jme3.gde.templates.utils.mavensearch.MavenApiVersionChecker uses https://search.maven.org/solrsearch/select which is basically obsolete and may not get updated indices anymore. It can find jME until 3.9 beta. The newer URL https://central.sonatype.com/solrsearch/select seems quite unstable and quirky. Better to try to use Netbeans Maven stuff instead. I think this is possible. Just might take a long time initialize this as it might get the whole Maven index...

Either way this is a good feature if we ever lack behind on releases.

Research direction

Start with com.jme3.gde.templates.utils.mavensearch.MavenApiVersionChecker and inspect how it queries search.maven.org/solrsearch/select. Compare that path with the NetBeans Maven facilities and the central.sonatype.com/solrsearch/select endpoint, then verify that the checker discovers versions newer than jME 3.9 beta without unacceptable initialization cost.
