This is supposed to be a working project from my friend. He demonstrated the project right in front of me, and then I copied the project, imported it as an existing maven project (I'm using m2eclipse plugin).
And then, this error occurs. This error can be reproduced every time I try to build something with maven.
Doing mvn dependency:tree, dependency:list, or the usual build package, will result in the same error.
The error from running the 'package' build from eclipse is:

I've tried downloading the newest version of maven, and included it in the eclipse helios, but still the same problem. The same error message happens even when I run it it in the shell command line (outside eclipse).
What am I missing?
Have come across such issue. The root cause is the .m2 folder. You gotta make sure that whatever you're trying to access is present there in your .m2 folder (this is your local repo). If the stuff is there then you're good. This is usually present inside of users folder on your system (be it mac/linux or even windows)
I've got a similar message and my problem were some proxy preferences in my settings.xml. So i disabled them and everything works fine.
mvn clean install -U
Solved my problem. Since the repos were cached, I needed to force it to get latest version.
This kind of problems are caused by two reasons:
If most of dependencies can be downloaded, then the reason 1 may be the most likely bug. On the contrary, if most of dependencies have the problem, then u should take a look at settings.xml.
Well, I have tried to fix my problem the whole afternoon, and finally I got it. My problem occurs in settings.xml, not the lose or wrong spelling of settings.xml, but the lose of activeProfiles.
Download the jar manually and then execute the command from the folder where the jar is saved:
mvn install:install-file -Dfile=*jar_file_name*.jar-DgroupId=*group_id* -DartifactId=*artifact_id* -Dversion=*version_no* -Dpackaging=jar
The jar file, jar_file_name, group_id, artifact_id and version_no are available from the maven repository page.
The artifactId for all the dependencies that failed to download are incorrect - for some reason they are prefixed with com.springsource. Cut/paste issue?
You can try replacing them as follows.
<dependency>
<groupId>javax.servlet</groupId>
<artifactId>jstl</artifactId>
<version>1.2.0</version>
<scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>javax.servlet</groupId>
<artifactId>servlet-api</artifactId>
<version>2.5</version>
<scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>javax.transaction</groupId>
<artifactId>jta</artifactId>
<version>1.1.0</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.slf4j</groupId>
<artifactId>slf4j-log4j12</artifactId>
<version>1.5.6</version>
</dependency>
You may also want to add the maven central repository for these artifacts in case they are not available in the specified repositories.
<repository>
<id>maven2</id>
<url>http://repo1.maven.org/maven2</url>
</repository>
I have had a similar problem and I fixed it by adding the below repos in my pom.xml:
<repository>
<id>org.springframework.maven.release</id>
<name>Spring Maven Release Repository</name>
<url>http://repo.springsource.org/libs-release-local</url>
<releases><enabled>true</enabled></releases>
<snapshots><enabled>false</enabled></snapshots>
</repository>
<!-- For testing against latest Spring snapshots -->
<repository>
<id>org.springframework.maven.snapshot</id>
<name>Spring Maven Snapshot Repository</name>
<url>http://repo.springsource.org/libs-snapshot-local</url>
<releases><enabled>false</enabled></releases>
<snapshots><enabled>true</enabled></snapshots>
</repository>
<!-- For developing against latest Spring milestones -->
<repository>
<id>org.springframework.maven.milestone</id>
<name>Spring Maven Milestone Repository</name>
<url>http://repo.springsource.org/libs-milestone-local</url>
<snapshots><enabled>false</enabled></snapshots>
</repository>
Maven kept your files on cache, and don't retry to download them. You can simply manually 'help' him by deleting the .m2 directory, and then our friend will download everything over the old dependencies.
I had this problem as well, it turned out it was because of NetBeans adding something to my pom.xml file. Double check nothing was added since previous successful deployments.
My EAR project had 2 modules *.ear and *.war and I got this dependency error on *.war project when trying mvn eclipse:eclipse. Resolved it by fixing utf-8 encoding issue in the *.war project. mvn -X or -e options weren't of help here.
Turns out that it happened because of the firewall on my computer. Turning it off worked for me.
As an alternative source to the same problem, this answer cites using Maven 3 versus Maven 2 as the potential cause of this issue. Near as I can tell, this is due to changes in local repository resolution that was changed in Maven 3. Putting this here in case anyone else googles for it and reaches this answer (as I did).
I had this problem. In my case it was caused by IntelliJ Idea messing around with some of the pom.xml files (which it seems to enjoy doing!). I just reverted to the original copy and things worked again!
