Failure to find org.codehaus.mojo

Question

I have the below pom.xml in one of the projects that I downloaded from a book...

I get the following error,

Failure to find org.codehaus.mojo:mojo-sandbox:pom:3-SNAPSHOT in http://snapshots.repository.codehaus.org was cached in the local repository, resolution will not be reattempted until the update interval of codehaus snapshot has elapsed or updates are forced

What should be the correct link for --org.codehaus.mojo that I should be using.

Solution

The repository has been moved to https://nexus.codehaus.org/ You probably want to refer to https://nexus.codehaus.org/content/repositories/snapshots/

The the link does not work any more. But it seems that the repository currently can be accessed from https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/codehaus-snaps‌​hots/.
