Maven install error: Dependency could not be resolved

Question

I am using Maven 3.1.1. When I run mvn install I get the following error:

D:\\spring source>mvn install
[INFO] Scanning for projects...
[INFO         


        

Answer 1

This is caused by corrupted maven or plugins folder. To resolve this:

1. Delete \.m2\repository\org\apache\maven
2. mvn dependency:resolve -X
