Yeah, woops. I didn't finish the quick tut before hitting send and it's missing a little nugget of info.
So allow me to append and edit some more info... (below)

Notice that the actual artifactId of wobootstrap is maven-wobootstrap-plugin. Similarly, people using jetty often type jetty:run instead of org.mortbay.jetty:jetty-maven-plugin:run

But when you start specifying a complete identifier you'll need the full name.

For maven2 I believe it finds the latest snapshot (which is dumb). Hence that's why you were getting an error for 2.2.1-SNAPSHOT and why I suggested upgrading to maven 3.
