I get the following when building with Maven 2.2.1:

Try downloading the file manually from the project website.

Then, install it using the command:

Alternatively, if you host your own repository you can deploy the file there:
mvn deploy:deploy-file -DgroupId=org.easyb -DartifactId=maven-easyb-plugin -Dversion=1.2.1 -Dpackaging=maven-plugin -Dfile=/path/to/file -Durl=[url] -DrepositoryId=[id]

I had the same issue but I solved it changing the easyb version to 0.9.7:
maven-easyb-plugin
0.9.7

In root pom.xml and gameoflife-core/pom.xml
