Jars for Struts are not being updated

[Suneet Shah]

Hello,

I have a web application with pom that has the following dependencies for
struts 1.3.8. However, maven is not bring these jars down into my local
repository.
I have tried the usual mvn clean, mvn install, and mvn –U –cpu package. None
of them seem to help.  However, if I try to use struts 1.2.9, its works. Any
ideas as to what the problem might be?

    <dependency>
      <groupId>org.apache.struts</groupId>
      <artifactId>struts-taglib</artifactId>
      <version>1.3.9</version>
      <optional>true</optional>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
      <groupId>org.apache.struts</groupId>
      <artifactId>struts-extras</artifactId>
      <version>1.3.9</version>
      <optional>true</optional>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
      <groupId>org.apache.struts</groupId>
      <artifactId>struts-tiles</artifactId>
      <version>1.3.9</version>
      <optional>true</optional>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
      <groupId>org.apache.struts</groupId>
      <artifactId>struts-core</artifactId>
      <version>1.3.9</version>
      <optional>true</optional>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
      <groupId>javax.servlet</groupId>

    </dependency>
    <dependency>

    </dependency>
