Yeah, the old java-parent-project svn repo is no longer there. So
anything that tries to pull from there will be pointing at a
non-existent location.  This would for example include trying to
checkout and build an older tag from svn.  Specifically: 1) the
.settings svn:external would not work, so if using Eclipse the workspace
wouldn't be set up correctly 2) in .checkstyle the URL pointing to the
checkstyle.xml on the SVN repo would be broken, so trying to run
Checkstyle reports would be broken.

As I mentioned in the other message in this thread, though, the actual
release versions of the old java-parent-project (Maven id
net.shibboleth:parent) are still there in Nexus, so I *think* that a
simple Maven build of an older version of a project (e.g. from source
tarball or checked out tag) should still work, since the parent POM
itself is still available.
