Errors in pom.xml with dependencies (Missing artifact...)

I know it is an old question. But I hope my answer will help somebody. I had the same issue and I think the problem is that it cannot find those .jar files in your local repository. So what I did is I added the following code to my pom.xml and it worked.

<repositories>
  <repository>
      <id>spring-milestones</id>
      <name>Spring Milestones</name>
      <url>https://repo.spring.io/libs-milestone</url>
      <snapshots>
          <enabled>false</enabled>
      </snapshots>
  </repository>
</repositories>

It seemed that a lot of dependencies were incorrect.

A good place to look for the correct dependencies is the Maven Repository website.
