Where are the JAXB schemas published?

The JAXB 1.0 and JAXB 2.0 schemas are supposed to be available from the Bindings Schema for JAXB site. Unfortunately, it was last updated in 2005 and all of the links are broken. What is the official location of the schemas? There should be some authoritative source for v1.0, 2.0, 2.1 and 2.2.

JAXB XML Schemas

JAXB 1.0 XML Schema

JAXB 2.0 XML Schema

It seems that there is no version 2.2 of the schema. The most recent would be 2.1.

And an old post from the java.net forums (now defunct) stated:

I don't think it has been published (we should fix that), but if you have a jaxb-xjc jar file, you can find it inside the jar.

The relevant files in jaxb-xjc-2.2.11.jar are:

com/sun/tools/xjc/reader/xmlschema/bindinfo/binding.xsd
com/sun/tools/xjc/reader/xmlschema/bindinfo/xjc.xsd
com/sun/tools/xjc/reader/xmlschema/bindinfo/xs.xsd

From the source repository: Binding, XJC and XS schemas.

Note: In addition to the original 1.0 and 2.0 schema links from 2005 being broken at least twice (changed from sun.com to oracle.com, then moving into Oracle's technetwork), the locations for the 2.1 schemas changed at least four more times between 2015 and 2018 due to a switch from http to https on java.net, the closure of java.net, migration of the code base to GitHub, and refactoring to move the schemas from src/main/java to src/main/schemas.
