Build fails with Vaadin 7.7

It seems like perhaps the Jar in the repo is bad... ( my build works fine if I change back to 7.6.8)

diagnostic: /home/rsutton/.m2/repository/com/vaadin/vaadin-server/7.7.0/vaadin-server-7.7.0.jar(com/vaadin/server/BootstrapHandler.java):42: error: cannot access com.vaadin.annotations.JavaScript
import com.vaadin.annotations.JavaScript;
                            ^
 bad source file: /home/rsutton/.m2/repository/com/vaadin/vaadin-server/7.7.0/vaadin-server-7.7.0.jar(com/vaadin/annotations/JavaScript.java)
   file does not contain class com.vaadin.annotations.JavaScript
   Please remove or make sure it appears in the correct subdirectory of the sourcepath.

Have you tried removing the file from your local maven cache so that Maven downloads it again?

tried clearing the m2 cache of vaadin things, didn't help
