I just ran into the same problem. It seams that iText is not availabel on public repos. Here https://github.com/TIBCOSoftware/jasperreports/issues/148 the solution is to add the following repo:

<repository>
   <id>jaspersoft-third-party</id>
   <url>https://jaspersoft.jfrog.io/jaspersoft/third-party-ce-artifacts/</url>
</repository>

Edit: I need to change the url from http to https.
