I'm trying to use the latest App Insights Spring Boot Starter in my project, but Maven does not seem to be able to fetch it from the repository:

I would like to use:

So my POM looks like:

<!-- https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/com.microsoft.azure/applicationinsights-spring-boot-starter -->
<dependency>
    <groupId>com.microsoft.azure</groupId>
    <artifactId>applicationinsights-spring-boot-starter</artifactId>
    <version>2.6.0-BETA.2</version>
</dependency>

While running mvn clean install -U - I get:

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal on project <whatever>: Could not resolve dependencies for project com.example:whatever:jar:0.0.1-SNAPSHOT: Could not find artifact com.microsoft.azure:applicationinsights-web:jar:all:2.6.0-BETA.2 in central (https://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2) ->

So I tried adding a custom repository for : https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/ - something like:

 <repositories>
    <repository>
      <id>whatever</id>
      <url>https://repo1.maven.org/maven2</url>
    </repository>
  </repositories>

That also doesn't work:

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal on project jvwapp: Could not resolve dependencies for project com.example:jvwapp:jar:0.0.1-SNAPSHOT: Could not find artifact com.microsoft.azure:applicationinsights-web:jar:all:2.6.0-BETA.2 in whatever (https://repo1.maven.org/maven2) -> [

Stuff like this does not seem to work either:

  <repositories>
    <repository>
      <id>whatever</id>
      <url>https://repo1.maven.org/maven2</url>
      <releases>
        <enabled>false</enabled>
      </releases>
      <snapshots>
        <enabled>true</enabled>
      </snapshots>
    </repository>
  </repositories>

Any suggestions?
