If you go to the most recent [Java API docs](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/client/java-api/current/_maven_repository.html) it says to use Maven Central. However Maven Central appears to be missing the x-pack-transport.

If you go to the current [Found Shield Example](https://github.com/elastic/found-shield-example/blob/master/pom.xml) it uses [https://artifacts.elastic.co/maven](https://artifacts.elastic.co/maven).
I've come across other docs that recommend [https://maven.elasticsearch.org/releases](https://maven.elasticsearch.org/releases).
I suspect the latest recommendations are to use Maven Central, so if that's the case it should probably be made sure that the x-pack-transport artifact makes its way into there.
Either way, some guidance would be appreciated. Thanks!
