i'm new to maven and geoserver as well. was just trying basic installation of geoserver and found the error in POM.XML file of maven project. Error is shown in two <dependency> tabs which are exactly 1st and 2nd after <dependencies> tab.

Errors :

Missing artifact org.geotools:gt-process:jar:8-SNAPSHOT

Missing artifact org.geoserver:main:jar:tests:8-ENTERPRISE-SNAPSHOT

Thanks for the solution in advance.

If you look at the quick start docs for geotools: http://docs.geotools.org/latest/userguide/tutorial/quickstart/maven.html

step 7 "under Creating a new project"

If you are using a nightly build (such as 14-SNAPSHOT) and add a reference to the snapshot repository.

<repositories>
    <repository>
      <snapshots>
        <enabled>true</enabled>
      </snapshots>
      <id>boundless</id>
      <name>Boundless Maven Repository</name>
      <url>http://repo.boundlessgeo.com/main</url>
    </repository>
</repositories>

I have taken a quick look at the versions available in this repository and to use it, you will need to change your maven co-ordinates to something like:

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.geotools</groupId>
  <artifactId>gt-process</artifactId>
  <version>10-SNAPSHOT</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
   <groupId>org.geoserver</groupId>
   <artifactId>main</artifactId>
   <version>2.4.8</version>
   <classifier>tests</classifier>
   <scope>test</scope>
 </dependency>

as the original versions you are after are not present.
