Unable to download Alfresco Artifacts using Maven - maven

Question

I have been trying to build a project (Alfresco 4.1.2), and I keep getting a Build Failure.
I am a little bit lost...
I have configured setting.xml correctly (with credentials for the repository)
here's my pom.xml
Does anybody have a clue??
