V-RAPTOR JASPER REPORTS PLUGIN - Erro ao baixar dependência.

[Andre Luis]

Pessoal, 

Estou tentando baixar o plugin via Maven, porém, estou me deparando com o erro abaixo. Estou usando o V-Raptor 4.2.0-RC3.

 Failed to execute goal on project crm-webapp: Could not resolve dependencies for project crm:crm-webapp:war:1.3.1.0: Failed to collect dependencies at br.com.prixma:vraptor-jasperreport:jar:4.1.0 -> net.sf.jasperreports:jasperreports:jar:5.5.2 -> com.lowagie:itext:jar:2.1.7.js2: Failed to read artifact descriptor for com.lowagie:itext:jar:2.1.7.js2: Could not transfer artifact com.lowagie:itext:pom:2.1.7.js2 from/to sonatype-oss-public (https://oss.sonatype.org/content/groups/public/): Connect to oss.sonatype.org:443 [oss.sonatype.org/52.22.249.229, oss.sonatype.org/107.23.166.173] failed: Connection refused: connect -> [Help 1]
