Maven: missing artifact org.springframework:spring:jar:4.2.6

Question

I have a dynamic web project in SpringToolSuite. It is converted into a Maven project.

I am getting the issue:

Mising artifact org.springframew

Answer 1

What worked for me is that I deleted

/Users/username/.m2/repository/org/springframework/spring/ directory

and then run mvn clean install command in my project.

That way Maven downloaded the real .jar file that was previously I guees not recognized.
