When resolving maven packages through Artifactory, we might encounter with a 409 response code, which indicates Artifactory was not able to validate the pom file in said package.
A common case is when the pom file contains a special character by mistake.

Options for Resolution:

1. Reach out to the package owner and ask them to fix this file. 
2. In Artifactory UI, check the 'Suppress POM Consistency Checks' under the Admin tab -> Remote repository configuration -> Edit your remote repo. By turning on this option Artifactory skips the .pom file validation. Note that this is less recommended, as it will allow trash files to be resolved to Artifactory without validation. 
3. Manually download the package/pom file, fix the typo in the pom file deploy it to a local repository, and resolve the package from the above local repo.
