The current error message leaves the user in doubt if:

1. the jar is actually not available at all
2. the jar is licensed, but can be retrieved elsewhere.

It may be useful if the error message of would actually show the 
value of the downloadUrl, since maven did find the corresponding pom file.

People develop abstractions by generalizing from concrete examples.
Every attempt to determine the correct abstraction on paper without actually 
developing a running system is doomed to failure. No one is that smart. A 
framework is a resuable design, so you develop it by looking at the things it 
is supposed to be a design of. The more examples you look at, the more general 
your framework will be.
