> *+Background+*
> NiFi Registry bundles a Swagger UI as a convenience for documenting/interacting with the REST API. The Swagger UI (ALv2) is currently obtained by downloading a tarball from a github archives location during the build using the download-maven-plugin (which calls wget):
> https://github.com/apache/nifi/blob/main/nifi-registry/nifi-registry-core/nifi-registry-web-api/pom.xml#L132
> The files needed for hosting a Swagger UI are then extracted and copied to a static asset directory in the NiFi Registry web server, and configured to use the NiFi Registry swagger.json.
> The downside of this is that to build NiFi Registry from source, an internet connection is required. To build offline, or on a network without public internet access, the -Pno-swagger-ui profile can be used, but this disables this feature that may be useful. 
> A better way to obtain this dependency would be from Maven Central, where on a disconnected network, a nexus mirror could be used for building. The same Swagger UI files can be obtained via the org.webjars::swagger-ui::<version> artifact in Maven Central: https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.webjars/swagger-ui
> By adding this dependency, and unpacking/repacking the files needed during the build, it makes the build more flexible as alternative repository locations can be specified locally.
> *This task is to migrate from using the download-maven-plugin pulling from github archives to using a standard maven dependency and repacking the jar files to achieve the same result for the bundled Swagger UI.*
