Maven dependency in eclipse

Question

I am trying to use jersey API and this is my first maven project.

I have 2 maven dependency problems that look like this:

Description Resource    Path    Location    Type
ArtifactTransferException: Failure to transfer org.glassfish.hk2:osgi-resource-locator:jar:1.0.1 from http://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2 was cached in the local repository, resolution will not be reattempted until the update interval of central has elapsed or updates are forced. Original error: Could not transfer artifact org.glassfish.hk2:osgi-resource-locator:jar:1.0.1 from/to central (http://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2)

Description Resource    Path    Location    Type
Missing artifact org.glassfish.hk2:osgi-resource-locator:jar:1.0.1  

How should I go about to fix this?
