Hi, i had the very same problem and got a hint to solve it (thanks bernulfiskus)... go to ibiblio repository via browser ( www.ibiblio.org ), download manually the required jar (geronimo-qname_1.1_spec-1.0.1.jar) and execute the following command from the root of your local repository:
mvn install:install-file -DgroupId=org.apache.geronimo.specs-DartifactId=geronimo-qname_1.1_spec -Dversion= 1.0.1 -Dpackaging=test -Dfile=/path/to/geronimo-qname_1.1_spec-1.0.1.jar Hope it works
