This issue is a pain in my a$$, I have this issue in my Mac, if I run

Removing all corrupted libs is the only solution

So I want to remove all of them at once.

mvn clean install | grep "error reading" | awk '{print "rm " $4 | "/bin/sh"  }'

The command needs AWK to take libPath string from column $4

Then rerun

mvn clean install

This error occurs because of some file corruption. But we don't need to delete whole .m2 folder. Instead find which jar files get corrupted by looking at the error message in the console. And delete only the folders which contains those jar files.

Like in the question :

1. C:\Users\suresh\.m2\repository\org\jdom\jdom\
2. C:\Users\suresh\.m2\repository\javax\servlet\servlet-api\
3. C:\Users\suresh\.m2\repository\org\apache\cxf\cxf-rt-bindings-http
4. C:\Users\suresh\.m2\repository\org\codehaus\jra\jra
5. C:\Users\suresh\.m2\repository\org\apache\cxf\cxf-api
6. C:\Users\suresh\.m2\repository\org\apache\cxf\cxf-common-utilities

Delete these folders. Then run.

mvn clean install -U

Answer 3

Accidently I found a simple workaroud to this issue. Running Maven with -X option forces it to try other servers to download source code. Instead of trash HTML inside some jar files there is correct content.

mvn clean install -X > d:\log.txt

And in the log file you find messages like these:

Downloading: https://repository.apache.org/content/groups/public/org/apache/axis2/mex/1.6.1-wso2v2/mex-1.6.1-wso2v2-impl.jar
[DEBUG] Writing resolution tracking file D:\wso2_local_repository\org\apache\axis2\mex\1.6.1-wso2v2\mex-1.6.1-wso2v2-impl.jar.lastUpdated
Downloading: http://maven.wso2.org/nexus/content/groups/wso2-public/org/apache/axis2/mex/1.6.1-wso2v2/mex-1.6.1-wso2v2-impl.jar

You see, Maven switched repository.apache.org to maven.wso2.org when it encountered a download problem. So the following error is now gone:

[ERROR] error: error reading D:\wso2_local_repository\org\apache\axis2\mex\1.6.1-wso2v2\mex-1.6.1-wso2v2-impl.jar; error in opening zip file

Answer 4

I had a similar problem as well. The fix was a mix of both. I had a problem with asm-3.1 (as mentioned in the blog post linked by Takahiko. That jar was corrupt. I needed to manually get the jar from the maven central repository. Removing it and retrying just got the corrupt jar again. It then still failed on the asm-parent, which was a POM file containing the HTML with a 301. Again, it required manually getting the file myself. You may want to check what settings XML to see if you're set to a different repository, such as a local nexus server.

When the proper way to get the new one fails, manually grab it yourself.

Answer 5

I downloaded the jar file manually and replace the one in my local directory and it worked
