You have to pull down the source and build it yourself. It appears that no artifacts have been deployed to Maven Central or the Apache snapshots repository.
FWIW, there hasn't been any significant development on that code since May 2015.

I'm happy to write that development has resumed for Apache Commons Text, and version 1.0 was recently released.
It can now be imported normally. Keep in mind that you need to change the version from 0.1-SNAPSHOT (as in the OP's question) to 1.0.
Here is its page on Maven Central.
