Failed to Read Artifact Descriptor: IntelliJ

Question

I am running into an issue with my Maven POM file where its unable to find spark dependency and is returning with error: Failed to read artifact descriptor for org.apache.sp

Answer 1

In Intellij, I had the same issue,

I did the proxy settings also, and ran the command mvn –U clean install but it's not working.

I got its resolved with the below setting enabled (highlighted in yellow)

In Intellij, go to File -> Settings -> Build, Execution, Deployments -> Maven Check the box, ‘Always update snapshots’
