bcel moved to o.a.bcel and has a 5.2 release with a proper pom file:
http://mirrors.ibiblio.org/pub/mirrors/maven2/org/apache/bcel/bcel/5.2/bcel-5.2.pom

ant-contrib 1.03b does look to be wrong, you should ping that
team/list to ask them to push a new build (1.03b is from Jan 2009)
that has, among other things, a proper pom file (and hopefully a more
sensible version number)

Fixing bad metadata is generally the responsibility of the dev team
who is producing the artifacts.
