Dependencies should not just come and go. Can you take a look at ibiblio
and see if you are using the correct groupId and artifactId in all
cases? For example looking in the repo there is no groupId of apache-
cocoon but there is a cocoon groupId:

http://www.ibiblio.org/maven2/cocoon/

And in there I don't see any cocoon-core artifacts in there.

You can see when they were last acted upon by looking in the repo:

http://www.ibiblio.org/maven2/cocoon/cocoon/2.1.7/

1) Examine the repo and make sure you're using correct groupIds and
artifactIds

2) Contact the project in question and see if someone is maintain the
metadata and if not

3) Register any problems here:

http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MEV

Yes it does :-) But sometimes you have to nudge a bit to get things into
the repository and correctly.
