Spring Modules 0.5 is also available in maven form, on ibiblio: http://www.ibiblio.org/maven2/org/springmodules/

Your .pom file declares a dependency on osworkflow version 2.8.0, not found on ibiblio. Are you using an alternate repository to resolve this dependency?

You have to manually place the osworkflow in the local repository - even with ivy we have a local repository for various jars not found on the internet.
