title: Maven OpenSAML dependency issue
body: <p>I have been assigned a task to implement SAML between my company and a client. I was looking at using OpenSAML but I am struggling to set up the maven project.</p>
  
  <p>I add the dependency:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;dependency&gt;
  &lt;groupId&gt;org.opensaml&lt;/groupId&gt;
  &lt;artifactId&gt;opensaml&lt;/artifactId&gt;
  &lt;version&gt;2.5.1&lt;/version&gt;
  &lt;/dependency&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>but the pom file has an error: Missing artifact xerces:xml-apis:jar:1.4.01</p>
  
  <p>I cant find this dependency in the maven repository. When checking the OpenSAML site it states:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Using OpenSAML in Maven-based Projects</p>
    
    <p>Following is the information necessary to use OpenSAML within
    Maven-based projects. Maven Repository:
    <a href="https://build.shibboleth.net/nexus/content/repositories/releases" rel="noreferrer">https://build.shibboleth.net/nexus/content/repositories/releases</a> Group
    ID: org.opensaml Artifact ID: opensaml</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>But when i configure that respository in my pom file, it still cant find the dependency.</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;repositories&gt;
      &lt;repository&gt;
        &lt;id&gt;org.opensaml&lt;/id&gt;
        &lt;url&gt;https://build.shibboleth.net/nexus/content/repositories/releases&lt;/url&gt;
      &lt;/repository&gt;
   &lt;/repositories&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Has anyone got OpenSAML set up in Maven that can help?</p>
