This error seems to suggest the parent POM was not found. Are you seeing this in all of the quickstarts or just this one? Failure to find org.switchyard.quickstarts:switchyard-quickstart-parent:pom:1.1.0.M3-redhat-2 in http://maven.repository.redhat.com/techpreview/all/ was cached in the local repository I would expect the same issue to fail all quickstarts. If that's what's happening, the the maven repo itself of the settings.xml is likely the culprit.
Now the jboss-as:deploy task passes. I was pretty sure I'd tried it with clean local repository and settings.xml pointing to correct repos, but obviously problem was on my side. Marking as not a bug and closing.
