Maven dependency picocontainer - maven

Question

I'm trying to include with maven dependency for
<dependency>
<groupId>org.jacorb</groupId>
<artifactId>jacorb</artifactId>
<version>2.3.1</version>
</dependency>
Dependency is resolved, but it's causing problem with another dependency, picocontainer:
[ERROR] Failed to execute goal on project s_s: Could not resolve dependencies
for project my.package:s_s:war:1: Failed to collect dependencies for org.jacorb:jacorb:jar:2.3.1 (compile), picocontainer:picocontainer:jar:1.2 (compile)]: Failed to read artifact descriptor for picocontainer:picocontainer:jar:${picocontainer.version}: Could not transfer artifact picocontainer:picocontainer:pom:${picocontainer.version} from/to central (http://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2): IllegalArgumentException: Illegal character in path at index 65: http://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2/picocontainer/picocontainer/${picocontainer.version}/picocontainer-${picocontainer.version}.pom -> [Help 1]
When I check local repo, version named ${picocontainer.version} is created. I've tried include own dependency:
<dependency>
<groupId>picocontainer</groupId>
<artifactId>picocontainer</artifactId>
<version>1.2</version>
</dependency>
But it's not helping, could someone help me out?

Answer 1

OK I figured it out :) I ought to exclude dependency from org.jacorb like this:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.jacorb</groupId>
<artifactId>jacorb</artifactId>
<version>2.3.1</version>
<exclusions>
<exclusion>
<groupId>picocontainer</groupId>
<artifactId>picocontainer</artifactId>
</exclusion>
<exclusion>
<groupId>picocontainer</groupId>
<artifactId>picocontainer-tck</artifactId>
</exclusion>
<exclusion>
<groupId>picocontainer</groupId>
<artifactId>picocontainer-gems</artifactId>
</exclusion>
</exclusions>
</dependency>
And include necessary one
<dependency>
<groupId>picocontainer</groupId>
<artifactId>picocontainer</artifactId>
<version>1.2</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>picocontainer</groupId>
<artifactId>picocontainer-tck</artifactId>
<version>1.2</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>picocontainer</groupId>
<artifactId>picocontainer-gems</artifactId>
<version>1.2</version>
</dependency>
I guess it's maven corrupted artifact?
