jbosscache-common-parent 1.3-SNAPSHOT does exist, but only in the  
snapshots repository and not in the main repository.

I know we shouldn't be using snapshots but this had somehow leaked  
through when 2.1.1.GA was cut.  If anything though, you should be  
using the latest and greatest of the 2.x series (2.2.1.GA), but again  
I know that that would depend on potentially a new Hibernate release,  
etc.
