is the location of seleniumtestsframework-1.0.jar on my system. Update this location with location of jar in your system 

If installation goes right then seleniumtestsframework would be installed in your .m2 repository - 


When there is a new version of seleniumtestsframework is released you should update <version>1.0</version>  in your pom.xml file and install latest seleniumtestsframework.jar
