If you are using Eclipse Neon, try this:

1) Add the maven plugin in the properties section of the POM:

    1.8
    3.1.1

2) Force update of project snapshot by right clicking on Project

Maven -> Update Project -> Select your Project -> Tick on the 'Force Update of Snapshots/Releases' option -> OK
