Question

With maven, I occasionally hit an artifact that comes from some 3rd-party repo that I haven\'t built or included in my repository yet.

This error can sometimes be misleading. 2 things you might want to check:

1. Is there an actual JAR for the dependency in the repo? Your error message contains a URL of where it is searching, so go there, and then browse to the folder that matches your dependency. Is there a jar? If not, you need to change your dependency. (for example, you could be pointing at a top level parent dependency, when you should be pointing at a sub project)

2. If the jar exists on the remote repo, then just delete your local copy. It will be in your home directory (unless you configured differently) under .m2/repository (ls -a to show hidden if on Linux).
