I have created simple project from maven-achetype-quickstart under Eclipse Indigo, then I went to pom.xml gui editor and in dependencies tab added dependency log4j
by search in appropriate dialog. Now my pom.xml looks like
<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 xsd/maven-.0.0.xsd">

Eclipse says my POM have many problems like
Missing artifact javax.jms:jms:jar:1.1 pom.xml /Test_Maven_03 line 2 Maven Dependency Problem
What does it mean and how to see maven feature of automatic jar downloading.
EDIT 1
If I select log4j 1.2.16 instead of 1.2.15, I get another error: Missing artifact log4j:log4j:bundle:1.2.16
. So I see no automatic jar management at all.
It's not included anymore due to licensing issues if I remember correctly. If you don't need jms functionality you can exclude jms from log4j dependency:
<dependency>
<groupId>log4j</groupId>
<artifactId>log4j</artifactId>
<version>1.2.15</version>
<exclusions>
<exclusion>
<groupId>com.sun.jmx</groupId>
<artifactId>jmxri</artifactId>
</exclusion>
<exclusion>
<groupId>com.sun.jdmk</groupId>
<artifactId>jmxtools</artifactId>
</exclusion>
<exclusion>
<groupId>javax.jms</groupId>
<artifactId>jms</artifactId>
</exclusion>
</exclusions>
</dependency>
