Question

I got the following error message when I tried to create a Maven project in eclipse. Many have posted about proxies in settings.xml file and also flush the .m2 folder forcin

Answer 1

I had same issue while creating new spring project in eclipse using Maven.

The main reason for this issue is that the proxy settings was not there.

I used the following approach to reslove it:
1) create settings.xml with  the below content
    
      
      
      
      
      
      
      
      
        
            true
            http
            Your proxy
            Your port
        
      
      
      
    
2) Save the settings.xml file under local C:\Users\<>\.m2
3) Then Right click project pom.XML in eclipse and select "Update Project". It always give precedence to settings.XML
