I wanna make web project using the Maven to import automatically all libraries that I need, so I chose "maven-archetype-webpp"
after that I got this error on pom.xml file :
Description Resource Path Location Type Failure to transfer org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-surefire-plugin:pom:2.12.4 from http://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2 was cached in the local repository, resolution will not be reattempted until the update interval of central has elapsed or updates are forced. Original error: Could not transfer artifact org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-surefire-plugin:pom:2.12.4 from/to central (http://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2): The operation was cancelled. pom.xml /SpringTuto line 1 Maven Configuration Problem
I've updated my Maven project but with no results !!
POM.XML :
<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

If you are using Eclipse Neon, try this:
1) Add the maven plugin in the properties section of the POM:
<properties>
<java.version>1.8</java.version>
<maven-jar-plugin.version>3.1.1</maven-jar-plugin.version>
</properties>
2) Force update of project snapshot by right clicking on Project
Maven -> Update Project -> Select your Project -> Tick on the 'Force Update of Snapshots/Releases' option -> OK
In my case it was a failed import to eclipse. I had to delete the project from eclipse (without deleting form the filesystem of course) and reimport it. After that the error was gone immediately.
Right click on project-> Maven->Click checked box 'Force Update'->Update
For Unix Users
find ~/.m2 -name "*.lastUpdated" -exec grep -q "Could not transfer" {} \; -print -exec rm {} \;
Right-click your project and choose Update Dependencies
For Windows
for /r %i in (*.lastUpdated) do del %i
You need just to follow those steps:
After which, if the build fails when you do Maven Install, it means there is no web.xml file under WEB-INF or some problem associated with it. it really works
just right click on your project, hover maven then click update project.. done!!
Right Click on your project: Run (As) -> Maven clean Right Click on your project: Run (As) -> Maven install
In my case eclipse was using an old settings.xml file.
