title: Maven Build Failure with jasperreports
body: <p>Since yesterday following build failure message is given when I build the project in NetBeans. There is a dependency for <code>jasperreports</code>, and from there a dependency for <code>itext</code>. Could not figure out the exact cause for this issue. </p>
  
  <p><code>Failed to read artifact descriptor for com.lowagie:itext:jar:4.2.2: Could not transfer artifact com.itextpdf:itextpdf:pom:4.2.2 from/to jaspersoft (http://rs.jaspersoft.com/maven2): rs.jaspersoft.com: Unknown host rs.jaspersoft.com</code></p>
  
  <pre><code>  &lt;dependency&gt;
        &lt;groupId&gt;jasperreports&lt;/groupId&gt;
        &lt;artifactId&gt;jasperreports&lt;/artifactId&gt;
        &lt;version&gt;1.3.4&lt;/version&gt;
  &lt;/dependency&gt;
  </code></pre>
