eclipse maven error: Archive for required library in project cannot be read or is not a valid ZIP file

Question

In an eclipse maven project using spring web mvc, I am getting the following error in the Markers tab:

Archive for required library: \'D:/mypath/.m2/reposi         


        

Answer 1

You can manually go to the repository specified in the error console that is Archive for required library: '**D:/mypath/.m2/repository/javax/transaction/jta/1.0.1B/jta-1.0.1B.jar**' in project 'DocumentManager' cannot be read or is not a valid ZIP file

Delete the JAR mentioned

Go to eclipse, right click the project and select run as->maven-install. It will download the right jar file.
