Question

Answer 1

Maven automatically downloads the dependency once specified in the pom.xml. For this you would have to build your project with the dependency as specified by Tim Sparg.

Answer 2

The dependency is available in Maven Central. Add the pom snippet manually to the pom.xml and run Maven in the shell and let it download the dependency. This should resolve your issue.

Answer 3

Did you let Netbeans manage the dependency?

In your "Projects" listing, find and context+click on the "Dependencies" folder in the list. From the context menu, choose "Add Dependency".

This approach works at least in NetBeans 7.4 and 8.0 beta.

Answer 4

Make sure that your pom.xml has the following snippet that defines the dependency

<dependency>
    <groupId>javax.media</groupId>
    <artifactId>jmf</artifactId>
    <version>2.1.1e</version>
</dependency>
