The problem is not your project or in your settings.xml file.

Maven will contact your localhost Nexus repository to look for org.springframework.webflow:spring-faces:jar:2.3.1.BUILD-SNAPSHOT and apparently is not finding it.

Does this artifact exist in your local Nexus repository? Do you have other repositories set up in your Nexus for it to go and fetch artifacts for which it does not have?
