Identified git repos for mauve:

• https://github.com/koadman/mauve - https://darlinglab.org/ seems to be a 1 person shop
• https://github.com/ingelabs/mauve - seems to have had a healthy number of diverse contributors back when it was active

This is our last successful mauve build link, it can be unjar to find the source code. Thanks.

Last successful at the adoptium server is here: https://ci.adoptium.net/job/systemtest.getDependency/202/

mauve.jar.zip

https://openj9-jenkins.osuosl.org/job/systemtest.getDependency/51/ still failed.
I am considering backing the changes and branching out for the January release.

Moving forward, we should compare source code in the jar (#5760 (comment)) with identified mauve git repos and build from the update to date material. We might also want to keep a copy ourselves as a backup in case the personal git repo is deleted.

Is mauve.jar still needed based on adoptium/aqa-systemtest#494 ? Missing mauve.jar still failed the job https://ci.adoptium.net/job/systemtest.getDependency/228/. Could we remove the archive mauve jar for now archiveArtifacts '**/systemtest_prereqs/mauve/mauve.jar' ?
