I created a new scala project with the following:
mvn org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-archetype-plugin:2.2:generate
-DarchetypeGroupId=org.scala-tools.archetypes
-DarchetypeArtifactId=scala-archetype-simple
-DarchetypeVersion=1.3
-DgroupId=myGroup
-DartifactId=myProject
-Dversion=0.1.0
-DinteractiveMode=false
Which gives me the following POM:
<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">

I can run mvn test and the sample tests run successfully. I'd like to use the most recent version of scala (I downloaded / installed 2.9.2...), but the most recent version of the org.scala-tools.testing scala_VERSION dependency seems to be 2.9.1. I made the following changes in my POM:
<scala.version>2.9.1</scala.version>
and
<dependency>
<groupId>org.scala-tools.testing</groupId>
<artifactId>specs_${scala.version}</artifactId>
<version>1.6.5</version>
<scope>test</scope>
</dependency>
Now, running mvn test gives

I presumably have some of the most simple tests possible (samples created by the maven archetype plugin), and bumping scala by a single minor version is breaking them? Should I just stick with scala 2.8 until the maven tools catch up?
Your artifact is outdated.
The latest version of Scala is 2.10. Currently ScalaTest is being distributed under different groupid and it supports the latest version of Scala. Here's the dependecy:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.scalatest</groupId>
<artifactId>scalatest_2.10</artifactId>
<version>2.0.M5b</version>
<scope>test</scope>
</dependency>
You will also require a different plugin:
<plugin>
<groupId>net.alchim31.maven</groupId>
<artifactId>scala-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>3.1.0</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<phase>compile</phase>
<goals>
<goal>compile</goal>
<goal>testCompile</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
You don't need to specify any repositories, since all those artifacts are being distributed with the central repo.
Here's an example of a complete pom of a project depending on the Scala 2.10.
