Maven newbie here trying to convert my Eclipse project to Maven. I tried using the "version 99" of Commons Logging as documented here (so that I can use logback and slf4j instead): http://day-to-day-stuff.blogspot.com/2007/07/no-more-commons-logging.html which was just recently referenced on the logback mailing list. My pom.xml file starts out as below. Below that are the errors. So I don't understand why it's not working. And additionally in the errors part the initial "Downloading:" lines seem odd to me since they have the zapto url prepended to them. Help! Here's the top of the pom.xml file: <project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation=" http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/maven-v4_0_0.xsd"
