Failure to transfer dependency, was cached in the local repository

Question

I am working on maven 2 project on eclipse, and I have the m2e plugin, and I am getting the following error in Eclipse:

Failure to transfer com.thoughtworks.x         


        

Answer 1

Error occured beacuse of Old cache of Maven tool is present in your directory. So you must delete it. Go to C\User\"your user name"\m2 then delete it.

Answer 2

You can use -U parameter to force a check for the updated releases and snapshots on remote repositories, and resolve this issue.

Actually you can find this solution by using mvn -h to show Maven help.

Answer 3

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 :).

Answer 4

problem fixed after deleting the .lastUpdated file and the dependency then downloading it again.
