Failed to Read Artifact Descriptor: IntelliJ

Question

I am running into an issue with my Maven POM file where its unable to find spark dependency and is returning with error: Failed to read artifact descriptor for org.apache.sp

Answer 1

I had to just solve the issue. Please, go in the Maven tab of the Build, Execution, Deployments and set to the settings provided.

Answer 2

In Intellij, I had the same issue,

I did the proxy settings also, and ran the command mvn –U clean install but it's not working.

I got its resolved with the below setting enabled (highlighted in yellow)

In Intellij, go to File -> Settings -> Build, Execution, Deployments -> Maven Check the box, ‘Always update snapshots’

Answer 3

Resolved it, was due to a proxy setting that was enabled. Re-ran with mvn -U clean install and all was repaired.

Answer 4

Following worked for IDEA 17,

• Go to File
• Select Settings
• Select Build, Execution, Deployments
• Select Build Tools from drop down
• Select Maven from drop down
• Tick the Always update snapshots check box

Answer 5

I guess IntelliJ comes with and ambedded Maven installation, so just make sure your IDE is pointing to the right Maven home directory: and User settings file: values, these are under:

• Go to File
• Select Settings
• Select Build, Execution, Deployments
• Select Build Tools from drop down
• Select Maven from drop down

Answer 6

Go to file => Settings => Build, Execution, Deployment => Maven => Maven home directory: change from Bundled (Maven 3) to Bundled (Maven 2)
