It is also possible that your settings xml file defined in maven conf folder defines a location that it cannot access

First things first  you have to install Maven on your workstation  You need also to install M2E  what you obviously did  Not all distributions of Juno have it pre-installed   Then configure your Eclipse so it can find your Maven install  In the menu Window -  Preferences  then open the Maven section  In your right panel  you have a list of the Maven installations Eclipse knows  Add your installation and select it instead of the embedded Maven provided with M2E  Don t forget to set the  Global settings from installation directory  field with the path to the settings xml of your Maven installation   Which leads us to the settings xml  If the above doesn t solve your problem  you will have to configure your Maven  More infos here

i found the easiest way was to just remove delete the  m2 folder and recreate it  putting back your settings xml configuration details if applicable

Assuming that you have your proxy settings correct  you may have missed out pointing Eclipse to the intended settings xml file  This happens often when you have both Maven installed as a snap in  and an external installation outside Eclipse  You need to tell Eclipse which Maven installation it should use  and which settings xml file it should be looking for   First check that the settings xml file contains your proxy settings      Next  check that the user settings xml file here contains your proxy settings     If you have made any changes  restart Eclipse
