This happens when you have pointed Maven at a repo which is not properly configured. The repo should return a proper 404 status code which Maven will report as a "bad repo" and blacklist it to avoid pulling down bad content. In this case, the website is returning something other than 404 (probably a 200 with "no file found" in the html) so Maven assumes the content is the Jar it requested and saves it as such. Yes, Maven should be a little bit smarter and check the content before saving it (and this is on the list of things to fix eventually) but the repo/webserver is not complying with the HTTP specification in these cases. Since you're talking to the Spring folks, please ask them to fix their repo. It should not return http status 200 unless the http request was actually successful!
