m2eclipse issues ArtifactTransferException - But pom.xml compiles / installs from the command line

Answer 1

This is very short tip to resolve the error “ArtifactTransferException: Could not transfer artifact” that may occur in Maven project in Eclipse.

Steps to resolve:

 1. Open folder by running this text (without Quotes) in Search Explorer of Window “%USERPROFILE%\.m2″.
 2. After running above command, “m2″ folder of maven will open. Now search for file (without Quotes) “*.lastUpdated”.
 3. In this step, delete all the files found by running Step 2.
 4. Now go to Eclipse project and select “Maven | Update Dependency” or “Maven | Update Project”.

Happy Coding.
