see item 7 in the quickstart: 
http://docs.geotools.org/latest/userguide/tutorial/quickstart/maven.html 
basically you should use the osgeo repo unless you want to live on the edge

In my experience any IDE with Maven support (eclipse, netbeans) also has 
support for Maven indexes making it possible to do local lookups.

It would be helpful if of osgeo was running a proper maven repository so 
it could provide an index, but I guess the boundless repo can serve that 
purpose. I would agree that hosting in maven central is the optimal 
solution, but that also requires building javadoc for each artifact.
