1) Here java.net is to be blamed. They broke several projects by moving their Maven repository. Apparently they did other bad things like that in the past (such as replacing an already released artifact by a different one), so that e.g. the CXF project has chosen to copy the artifacts they need to another repository and to remove the java.net repository from their POMs. Probably we will end up doing the same. Unfortunately we cannot fix any already released Axis2 version.
2) The Axis projects have been moved out of Apache Web Services and promoted to a top level project. The repository has already been moved [1], but the site has not yet been updated. 3,4,6) See comments in the corresponding JIRA issues. 5) This requires more information.
