This is supposed to be a working project from my friend. He demonstrated the project right in front of me, and then I copied the project, imported it as an existing maven project (I'm using m2eclipse plugin).

And then, this error occurs. This error can be reproduced every time I try to build something with maven.

Doing mvn dependency:tree, dependency:list, or the usual build package, will result in the same error.

The error from running the 'package' build from eclipse is:

I've tried downloading the newest version of maven, and included it in the eclipse helios, but still the same problem. The same error message happens even when I run it it in the shell command line (outside eclipse).

What am I missing?

Looks like you are missing some Maven repos. Ask for your friend's .m2/settings.xml, and you'll probably want to update the POM to include the repositories there.

--edit: after some quick googling, try adding this to your POM:

<repository>
    <id>com.springsource.repository.bundles.release</id>
    <name>SpringSource Enterprise Bundle Repository - SpringSource Bundle Releases</name>
    <url>http://repository.springsource.com/maven/bundles/release</url>
</repository>
<repository>
    <id>com.springsource.repository.bundles.external</id>
    <name>SpringSource Enterprise Bundle Repository - External Bundle Releases</name>
    <url>http://repository.springsource.com/maven/bundles/external</url>
</repository>
