Answer 1

Try to delete all dirs in /usr/share/maven-repo - of course then maven will die so you must re-install and try again. In my case re-install from maven ver.3. to maven2 with deleting all repositories helped.

I tried by deleting all from .m2 but that didn't help.

Answer 2

I was getting the same issue.

I just installed the m2e (Maven2Eclipse)plugin from below site:

http://www.eclipse.org/m2e/

Eclipse>Help>Install New Software>Available Software Sites>Add

Name: m2e (any name is OK)
Location:m2e - http://download.eclipse.org/technology/m2e/releases/

Under Install Window> Work with:

Select this new location and Add all the plugins that appear. Eclipse restart and it was running properly with no previous errors.

Answer 3

Very old stuff.

Got it solved fixing the localRepository in settings.xml. This file was copied from my other computer and the path of the .m2 repository wasn't the same.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<settings xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/SETTINGS/1.0.0"
  xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
  xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/SETTINGS/1.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/settings-1.0.0.xsd">

  <localRepository>C:\Users\foo\.m2</localRepository>

</settings>

Answer 4

If you've configured a repository in your maven's settings.xml, check if you've access to it.

When I had this problem, there were enterprise repositories configured in settings.xml but I was out of the company.

Answer 5

I have shifted my project to a different machine, copied all my maven libraries from old machine to new machine, did Right click on my project >> Maven >> Update Project. And then built my project. In addition to this, I have also done this one step which is shown in screenshot. And that's all it worked!!

Go to Window --> Preferences --> Maven --> User Setting, make sure you have these settings..

Also Right click on your project --> Properties --> Maven, and make sure you have the path here to maven repository..
