Unfortunately, I can't give access to https://repo.dustplanet.de/artifactory/private due to the DMCA of CraftBukkit and the prohibiton to distribute those or Spigot's binaries. To successfully build SilkSpawners using Maven, you must first run Spigot's BuildTools for several versions in order to compile each module - this will populate the local .m2 cache of yours.
