I had had to do the same. removing the snapshot and milestone repositories from my pom file, which had then led me to the issue I Jira'd about from this thread.
If I had the milestone and snapshot repositories in my pom file, it downloaded all pom files for all versions, including all snapshots and all milestones of Spring from 3.0 up to 3.1. Which led to at least 15 of them. Wasn't a pretty site, so I removed the two repos and I don't have that problem anymore.
