It could be your internet proxy is blocking some of the jars. That's what happens at my work place. Some get though, but I found the architype ones were blocked.
Try running mvn with the -X parameter then you'll be able to see the urls that are being accessed. You can then try them in your browser to see if they are being blocked.
