Answer 1

1. Try to move your dependencies from "type" tag to "scope" tag like below

or

<dependency>
        <groupId>net.xyz.xyz</groupId>
        <artifactId>xyz-xyz</artifactId>
        <version>x.y.z</version>
        <type>pom</type>
 </dependency>

or

<dependency>
            <groupId>net.xyz.xyz</groupId>
            <artifactId>xyz-xyz</artifactId>
            <version>x.y.z</version>
            <scope>test</scope> 
     </dependency>

then further Maven > Update Project

Solution 1:

Set correct proxy:

<proxy>
    <id>optional</id>
    <active>false</active>
    <protocol>http</protocol>
    <username></username>
    <password></password>
    <host>172.27.171.91</host>
    <port>8080</port>
</proxy>

Solution2 :

just delete

lastupdated extension files from folder

and try updating maven.

[Most of the times this solution will work]

Answer 3

For me I changed the packaging from pom to jar, and then the dependency got downloaded.

so I changed from <packaging>pom</packaging> to <packaging>jar</packaging>

Answer 4

I have come across the same issue recently.

First of all you have to configure proxy settings in settings.xml in your maven repository.

If you are using eclipse/STS then please do verify following.

Window -> Preferences -> Maven -> User Settings -> update user settings by pointing your settings.xml

Now it's set to update the maven project. It worked for me.

Answer 5

I got the same problem and this is how i solved. :

1. Right click your project, choose Run As -> Maven install. Observe the output console to see the installation progress. After the installation is finished, you can continue to the next step.

2. Right click your Spring MVC project, choose Maven -> Update Project.

3. Choose your project and click OK. Wait until update process is finished.
4. The error still yet, then do Project->Clean and then be sure you have selected our project directory and then do the follow Project->Build.
