This is probably now the most frequently asked question on this list; the maven docs really need to be updated to cover this. As the message above shows, it is trying to download pebble-1.9.pom ie a pom file, NOT the jarfile. This is just a warning that no pom file can be located; everything will still work. You can get rid of this by repeating the mvn install:install-file and adding -DgeneratePom=true. See the email archives for this week for a whole lot more info on this subject.
