Failure to transfer com.thoughtworks.x         


        

Answer 1

If you are using Eclipse:

• Go to Window->Preferences->Maven:
  check the download artifact source code, artifact javadoc, update maven project on startup.

• In the folder that contains pom.xml, run:
  mvn clean install -U

It worked for me :).
