I have the same problem  None of the options suggested above worked for me  However I find  that if I lets say manually add groupid artifact version for org springframework spring-core version 4 3 4 RELEASE and save the pom xml  the dependencies download automatically and the search works for the jars already present in the repository   However if I now search for org springframework spring-context    which isnt in the current dependencies  this search still doesn t work

Use https   search maven org  manually with the prefix fc  to search for class names  Both Netbeans and Eclipse seem to be too stupid to use that search interface and the gigabytes of downloaded repository indexes seem to not contain any class information  Total waste of disk space  Those IDE projects are so badly maintained lately  I wish they would move development to GitHub

Eclipse artifact searching depends on repository s index file  It seems you did not download the index file   Go to Window -  Prefrences -  Maven and check  Download repository index updates on start   Restart Eclipse and then look at the progress view  An index file should be downloading   After downloading completely  artifact searching will be ready to use     UPDATE You also need to rebuild your Maven repository index in  maven repository view    In this view   open  Global Repositories   right-click  central   check  Full Index Enable   and then  click  Rebuild Index  in the same menu   A 66M index file will be downloaded

It is neccesary to provide Group Id and Artifact Id to download the jar file you need  If you want to search it just use       for these fields

You can get this result if you are inside a corporate proxy and the new project isn t pointing to the correct settings xml file with the proxy credentials   You can also get this if you are using Maven proxy  Nexus  for example  and the index into the proxy is messed up somehow  I don t know a way to describe how to fix this  Fool around with it or call the one who set up the Maven proxy   You can also get this if the new workspace hasn t yet downloaded the index either from Maven central or from the proxy   This is the best one as you just have to wait a while and it will work itself out

The maven add dependency is actually from the maven indexes  If the indexes is up to date  the result should be from there    If you go to the maven repository  then select global repository  you should see a central     tab  and select that  there should be a list of folders  and you should be able to see all the indexes from there  If not  then it means you didn t get the full index  then you can right click that and enable full index    Another thing I annoyed me most is even I did everything  it still not showing anything when I type  spring   This is actually where I did wrong  If you just type some additional text  springframework   BOOM  the result is there

In your eclipse  go to Windows -  Preferences -  Maven   Tick the option  Download repository index updates on startup   You may want to restart the eclipse   Also go to Windows -  Show view -  Other -  Maven -  Maven repositories   On Maven repositories panel  Expand Global repositories then Right click on Central repositories and check  Full index enabled  option and then click on  Rebuild index

For me for this issue worked to    remove    m2 enable  Full Index Enabled  in maven repository view on central repository  Rebuild Index  on central maven repository   After eclipse restart everything worked well
