如何修复IntelliJ IDEA错误库'Maven x的javadoc /源路径已损坏？

Question

I have around 30 errors in my project structure window of IntelliJ. I am using maven to build my project and manage dependencies. Some of the dependencies have one of/both of the following errors:

Library 'Maven x' has broken javadoc path: <path to local repo>
Library 'Maven x' has broken source path: <path to local repo>

For instance I get both of these errors for commons-logging:commons-logging-api:1.1

I've tried running the following commands, but I still have errors:

mvn dependency:resolve -Dclassifier=javadoc
mvn dependency:resolve -Dclassifier=sources 

Are these errors a result of the library not publishing its source and javadocs to the maven repo? Is there a way to get these errors to go away without manually installing the dependency into my local repo (I imaging this would become a maintenance issue ever time I update a library)?

Yes, it's most likely the case.

Global errors component at the bottom of the Project Structure dialog should no longer display such errors starting from IntelliJ IDEA 11.0.1, however they are still displayed in the library tool-tips.

There is an open request to not add links to the roots that do not exist when performing Maven import, please watch/vote.
