Answer 1

Your variable is not resolved. Did you initialize it properly?
As you can see here
http://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2/.error=Could not transfer artifact org.springframework.security:spring-security-web:pom:${spring.version} from/to central (http://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2): Illegal character in path at index 86: http://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2/org/springframework/security/spring-security-web/${spring.version}/spring-security-web-${spring.version}.pom
Initialize $spring-version

Answer 2

Delete those files, which contains ${spring.version}, and fix your pom.xml:
<properties>
<version.org.springframework>3.2.4.RELEASE</version.org.springframework>
<version.org.springframework.security>3.2.4.RELEASE</version.org.springframework.security>
</properties>
Also wrap your <dependency> tags with a <dependencies> tag.
If it's a root pom, you should use a <dependencyManagement> tag.
