Answer 1

I had a similar problem as well. The fix was a mix of both. I had a problem with asm-3.1 (as mentioned in the blog post linked by Takahiko. That jar was corrupt. I needed to manually get the jar from the maven central repository. Removing it and retrying just got the corrupt jar again. It then still failed on the asm-parent, which was a POM file containing the HTML with a 301. Again, it required manually getting the file myself. You may want to check what settings XML to see if you're set to a different repository, such as a local nexus server.

When the proper way to get the new one fails, manually grab it yourself.
