The problem is we are using old repositories, and thus not all artefacts can be fetched from outside of red hat internal VPN. Nevertheless, all these are available in the right repositories.

There is also a note:
Note: This Maven repository is deprecated. The JBoss.org Maven repository is now managed by Nexus located at https://repository.jboss.org/nexus/. You should update your Maven builds to use the new repository url since it will contain all current project releases.

If you want to use JBoss artifacts in your project builds, you should use the repository found at http://repository.jboss.org/nexus/content/groups/public-jboss/. More information is available on the wiki page MavenGettingStarted-Users

If you are developing software for the JBoss community, please refer to MavenGettingStarted-Developers
