The 3.1.8 release does not exist but a new release is needed for SimRel

[merks]

The project claims to have produced a 3.1.8 release that is contributed to SimRel for 2023-09

https://projects.eclipse.org/projects/tools.buildship/releases/3.1.8

But that's not the case. The contribution to SimRel is more than 200 days old:

That contribution locks in an older version of guava:

This commit does some updates to the guava version:

https://github.com/eclipse/buildship/commit/1552f3edaee501a8b4be6155fa651e37007a2907

Note that the current version is 32.1.3.

Your new version ranges that exclude 33.x are fine for now.

But where is the 3.1.8 release located? I don't care about the version, but a new release with new dependencies is needed.

Expected Behavior

I expect to see the 3.1.8 release here:

https://download.eclipse.org/buildship/updates/

Current Behavior

This appears to be the latest version available:

https://download.eclipse.org/buildship/updates/e427/snapshots/3.x/3.1.7.v20231026-0345-s/

But this is the latest release available:

https://download.eclipse.org/buildship/updates/e427/releases/3.x/

Context

SimRel needs a new release version ASAP.
