Solving /safehaus/jug/jug/2.0.0-osgi Maven build error

Couple days ago I was working on upgrading MuleESB and Maven to versions 3.2 and 3 (respectively). When I swapped Maven 2.2 fro new version and tried to build one of my Mule project, I got the following error:

So I started digging Internet to see how I can solve it. The solution turned out to be quite simple. The mirror to the public repository should be added to you local .m2 settings.xml file. Add the following lines, and run the project. No errors...

<mirror>
        <id>jboss-public</id>
        <name>JBoss Public Nexus Repository</name>
        <url>https://repository.jboss.org/nexus/content/groups/public/</url>
        <mirrorof>jboss</mirrorof>
</mirror>
