Maven build error

[Joe Harry]

Guys,

As I was trying to build my project, I face the following error:

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal on project web: Could not resolve dependencies for project 
com.quintilis31.home.web:web:war:1.0-SNAPSHOT: The following artifacts could not be resolved: 
com.jhlabs:imaging:jar:01012005, com.google.code.jcaptcha4struts2:jcaptcha4struts2:jar:2.0.3-SNAPSHOT,
 com.opensymphony:xwork-core:jar:2.2.3: Could not find artifact com.jhlabs:imaging:jar:01012005 in 
com.springsource.repository.bundles.release (http://repository.springsource.com/maven/bundles/release) -> [Help 1]
[ERROR] 
[ERROR] To see the full stack trace of the errors, re-run Maven with the -e switch.

But the fact is, I have this jar file already in my local repository. Why would Maven every time look for it in external repositories and result in a build failure.

There was some junk in my Maven pom.xml that was causing the above error. Managed to get rid of it.
