Maven cannot see my DLL artifact

I cannot seem to get Maven to see my dll artifact.

I have read
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/MAVEN/DependencyResolutionException

I can see it in my local repository, but Maven seems to be ignoring my
local repository, even though there is no
LocalRepositoryNotAccessibleException

I can see it in my nexus repository, and Maven is complaining it cannot
find the artifact there. If I delete the artifact from my local
repository, Maven has no trouble downloading the metadata and pom, but
for some reason it cannot see the dll artifact.

/*Is Maven somehow choking on the fact that my artifact is a dll, and
not a jar, or something else?*/

I remember fighting with problems like this in the past, but I cannot
remember how I resolved them.

Cheers, Eric
