Mac OSX Maven Build Errors

We have reports of the following build error on Macs:

*******************************
[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------
[ERROR] BUILD ERROR
[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------
[INFO] Error building POM (may not be this project's POM).


Project ID: org.apache.maven:maven-parent:pom:5

Reason: Cannot find parent: org.apache:apache for project: org.apache.maven:maven-parent:pom:5 for project org.apache.maven:maven-parent:pom:5

*******************************

Workaround: Download and install the Maven third party jars as described in the "Download" section.

The error does not appear in the Mac nightly build dashboard, so we are trying to discover the cause.
