I cloned the repository and execute mvn test and it fails:

[...]

Execute the following commands to try:

cd osgi-toolchain-mvn-felix-eclipse-example
mvn test -Dmaven.repo.local=/tmp/repo-$(date +%Y%m%d-%H%M%S)

I am using the following tool stack:

• OS: Ubuntu 14.04 latest; Kernel: 3.13.0-generic - amd64

Do you need any additional information?
