Why am I getting Maven error: "Unable to determine if resource X exists in http://maven.glassfish.org/content/groups/glassfish"?

Whenever we execute our site goal in Maven, we get a long list of dependency-related errors in our console log. The errors appear to be generated during the Dependency report creation part of the build. All of the errors seem to be generated when resources are checked against the http://maven.glassfish.org/content/groups/glassfish repository. (There's also a strange JavaFX error in there, but we won't worry about that for now) The build does finish successfully.

I did some research, and it seems that the repository URL listed is correct. I'm wondering if it could possibly be a bug in our Dependencies report plugin? Not really sure, suggestions or speculation are welcome at this point

Edit: Posting verbose console output for one of these errors below:

You will need to disable the dependency location checking by simply adding <dependency.locations.enabled>false</dependency.locations.enabled> in the properties' section of your pom.xml as next:

<properties>
    ...
    <dependency.locations.enabled>false</dependency.locations.enabled>
</properties>

The default value is true for more details refer to the parameter dependencyLocationsEnabled.
