What page? It might need to be changed, since that's not something

You aren't, Maven should download it automatically. I looked back
through the thread and I don't see the actual error message you're
getting. Can you post that?
The <dependency> you posted looks okay, assuming you're defining that
property for the version somewhere.
I'm betting this is a connectivity problem. Are you behind a http
proxy at work?
