Which version of maven do you have? I have heard some versions don't follow redirects well. You can try deleting these defective files in your local repository under .m2 and try again. You may need to try with a newer maven to get things right.
Another option is to explicitly remove those dependencies since they are optional anyway. This sort of trick is commonly necessary with log4j. Try something like this (suitably adjusted, of course): <dependency> <groupId>log4j</groupId> <artifactId>log4j</artifactId> <version>1.2.15</version> <exclusions> <exclusion> <groupId>com.sun.jmx</groupId> <artifactId>jmxri</artifactId> </exclusion> <exclusion> <groupId>com.sun.jdmk</groupId> <artifactId>jmxtools</artifactId> </exclusion> <exclusion> <groupId>javax.jms</groupId> <artifactId>jms</artifactId> </exclusion> <exclusion> <groupId>javax.mail</groupId> <artifactId>mail</artifactId> </exclusion> </exclusions> </dependency> See here for possible related issue: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MREPOSITORY-20?page=com.atlassian.streams.streams-jira-plugin:activity-stream-issue-tab On Mon, May 24, 2010 at 1:35 PM, Jack Orenstein <j...@akiban.com> wrote: > I'm working on a project in the maven framework and have added a dependency > on zookeeper.
