Try excluding the documentation. You may also have to exclude samples.
<dependency>
<groupId>com.sun.xml.ws</groupId>
<artifactId>jaxws-ri</artifactId>
<version>2.3.3</version>
<type>pom</type>
<exclusions>
<exclusion>
<groupId>com.sun.xml.ws</groupId>
<artifactId>release-documentation</artifactId>
</exclusion>
<exclusion>
<groupId>com.sun.xml.ws</groupId>
<artifactId>samples</artifactId>
</exclusion>
</exclusions>
