It works even better if you exclude these dependencies like this:

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.apache.jackrabbit</groupId>
  <artifactId>jackrabbit-core</artifactId>
  <version>1.3-SNAPSHOT</version>
  <exclusions>
    <exclusion>
      <groupId>org.apache.jackrabbit</groupId>
      <artifactId>jackrabbit-api</artifactId>
    </exclusion>
    <exclusion>
      <groupId>org.apache.jackrabbit</groupId>
      <artifactId>jackrabbit-jcr-commons</artifactId>
    </exclusion>
    <exclusion>
      <groupId>org.apache.jackrabbit</groupId>
      <artifactId>jackrabbit-text-extractors</artifactId>
    </exclusion>
  </exclusions>
</dependency>
<dependency>
  <groupId>org.apache.jackrabbit</groupId>
  <artifactId>jackrabbit-api</artifactId>
  <version>1.3-SNAPSHOT</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
  <groupId>org.apache.jackrabbit</groupId>
  <artifactId>jackrabbit-jcr-commons</artifactId>
  <version>1.3-SNAPSHOT</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
  <groupId>org.apache.jackrabbit</groupId>
  <artifactId>jackrabbit-text-extractors</artifactId>
  <version>1.3-SNAPSHOT</version>
</dependency>

This guides maven not trying to download poms for the non-existent 
artifact-versions.
