Maven central unable to render dependencies for io.vertx artefacts

Version

4.5.14

Context

Visit https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/io.vertx/vertx-core/4.5.14 and look at the dependency list, notice how no version is specified, nor is the nature (runtime/compile time etc) mentioned. This means one has to look in github to try to determine which version of a library is being used.

Extra

This data is important as it allows organisations to make a quick determination as to which version of a library you are using, in case we are also using it to ensure compatibility and to reason about related exceptions when the libraries are not compatible with each other.

Emphasis on netty which has recently incremented its minor version.
