If you don't need a dependency is better to remove it from the pom.xml? – Lesly Bernaola

It is not possible to exclude a parent dependency.

Whoever wrote the pom.xml for disputemanager-client has badly abused the <relativePath> element. If a parent pom is not part of the project that references it then <relativePath> should not be specified at all.

First you need to verify that the parent pom.xml is not available anywhere in your Nexus repository. Be aware that SNAPSHOT artefacts (poms, jars, etc) are normally stored in a different repository than the released artefacts (those without -SNAPSHOT in the version). It could be that your ~/.m2/settings.xml file is not set up properly.

If you cannot find this file anywhere in Nexus then you should try to get a copy from a co-developer. Create buildconfig/superpom directories in a location three levels higher in your file system than your project (so that the relativePath resolves) and place the parent pom.xml (provided by the co-developer) there.

You will find it difficult to proceed without a copy of this file as it appears that the version information for many of the dependencies has been specified in it. Notice that many of the disputemanager-client dependencies have no <version>...</version> element? This is because these versions have been specified in that missing parent pom.xml (or even a parent of the parent).
