-> [Help 1]

Answer 1

This (http://repository.jboss.com/maven2) repository has been moved to https://repository.jboss.org/nexus/content/groups/public
Try to remove this entry from your pom.xml
<repository>
<id>JBoss Repo</id>
<url>http://repository.jboss.com/maven2</url>
<name>JBoss Repo</name>
</repository>

Answer 2

Your org.aspectj:aspectrt:1.6.9.M2 cannot be found in the maven central reporsitory.
Solution to fix your maven build:
1) You can change your version to 1.6.12 and add following repository
<repository>
<id>JBoss Repository</id>
<url>http://repository.jboss.com/maven2</url>
<name>JBoss Repository</name>
</repository>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.aspectj</groupId>
<artifactId>aspectjrt</artifactId>
<version>1.6.12</version>
</dependency>
2) You can change your version to 1.5.3 and add following repository
<repository>
<id>ibiblio mirror</id>
<url>http://mirrors.ibiblio.org/pub/mirrors/maven2/</url>
<name>ibiblio repo</name>
</repository>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.aspectj</groupId>
<artifactId>aspectjrt</artifactId>
<version>1.5.3</version>
</dependency>
