That's a Maven error.

If you running the tutorials from the svn soruces then you need to build
merlin first.  If you want to run tutorials for 3.3.0 then you need to
download the tutorials from this link:

http://apache.fastorama.com/dist/avalon/merlin/source/3.3.0/

The long term alternative is build and run metro and tutorials as
described here:
