i have project which needs to download an artifact from our internal nexus server, the artifact is jar file defined in the

<groupId>com.tibco.datasynapse.qa.testharness-commons.java</groupId>
<artifactId>java${jdk.version}</artifactId>
<version>1.0.0.18</version>
<classifier>commons</classifier>

and the error is
[ERROR] Failed to execute goal on project java1.7: Could not resolve dependencies for project com.tibco.datasynapse.qa.grid-testharness.java:java1.7:jar:6.2.0.1-SNAPSHOT:

but the truth is this artifact does exist in the right place, it doesn't work even if i copied the dependency info from nexus gui of this artifact
i tried -U arg, tried upload an artifact with new version, tried deleting the folder where the target artifact should be downloaded to, none of these works...
i found a thread, Maven: Failed to read artifact descriptor, but doesn't work to me either...
the artifact looks like this on nexus enter image description here
