The repository element in the project.xml is referring to your project's repository.  
In an unfortunate overloading of the word "repository" you project's dependencies are 
expected to be housed in a repository.  However, this latter repository is not a CVS 
repository.  It *has* to be accessible via the HTTP protocol.  What's more, a certain 
directory structure at that location is assumed (see 
http://maven.apache.org/reference/user-guide.html#Remote%20Repository%20Layout). 

You may find the articles listed at http://maven.apache.org/misc/articles.html useful.
