compiling with maven asks for dependency private-pom:pom

Question

I'm writing an own authenticator. And since Confluence (Datacenter) 8.5.3 i'm getting a dependency-error in maven

Could not find artifact com.atlassian.pom:private-pom:pom:6.3.1 in internal-repository (https://nexus.<our.domain>/nexus/content/groups/public/)

Our nexus is only a mirrored proxy for https://packages.atlassian.com and i can not find private-pom there in no repo at all...

Compiling my authenticator against version 8.5.2 it works without problems.

And compiling against 8.6.1 works again. But we use LTS, so 8.6.1 is no option to ugrade.

What can i do?
What does this mean?

I've added com.atlassian.struts2 struts-support 1.2.0 provided to the pom.xml, as suggested in the linked issue, for my application, but i still get the error for the missing private-pom "Failure to find com.atlassian.pom:private-pom:pom:6.3.1"
