Did you look at the pom file? It is a relocation from cobertura:cobertura to

I have no idea why the antlr jar was not pulled down. There may be a
perfectly reasonable explanation. Are your builds breaking due to this
missing jar -- and if not, why do you care what is in your local repo
cache?
FYI antlr:antlr:3.0ea8 is also a relocation pom:

Some are simply bad uploads by the responsible project and missing jar files.
Some are relocation poms telling you to change your dependency tag.
There are others telling you where to download something and install
it manually (eg JTA and other Sun BCL-licensed jars).

Absolutely no clue. You should not be worried about it either.
