Could not find artifact javax.ejb:ejb-api:jar:3.0 in org.springsource.maven.snapshot - spring

Question

I am new to AspectJ and Spring and trying to build the example with Maven, given in Appendix A of the book AspectJ In Action. I had to update the Jboss repository setting in to new nexus repository url, in "common-java/pom.xml". Now I'm getting the following error when I do "mvn -e clean package".
Any help is appreciated as I'm clueless how to fix this.

Please let me know if you need more info.

Answer 1

2 things -
1) Provide your build file.
2) You might need to add the required jar in the dependency tag for the build.

Answer 2

Finally figure it out. The nexus URL I had was wrong.
It has to be this URL "https://repository.jboss.org/nexus/content/groups/public/"
Simply did not know how to find that in Nexus!
If anyone wants to browse Nexus use this URL:
https://repository.jboss.org/nexus/index.html#view-repositories
