When using maven, it normally downloads only the binaries from the dependencies your project has.
It is possible, with simple commands, to also download the source and/or documentation from the dependencies you are interested in.
To download sources:
mvn [goal] -DdownloadSources=trueTo download javadocs:
mvn [goal] -DdownloadJavadocs=true

Sorry, doesn't work for me (with maven2).
Why don't you post the error message you are getting so we can try and help you?
I use it always with the 'eclipse:eclipse' or 'idea:idea' goals. Not sure if it works with other goals.
For me its working using mvn eclipse:eclipse -DdownloadSources
That option only works on the eclipse plugin; a better way is to use the dependency plugin:
mvn dependency:sources
