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.xstream:xstream:pom:1.3.1 from http://repo1.maven.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 com.thoughtworks.xstream:xstream:pom:1.3.1 from/to central (http://
repo1.maven.org/maven2): Failed to create a selector. to http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/com/thoughtworks/xstream/
xstream/1.3.1/xstream-1.3.1.pom
I followed answers on similar problem by removing .lastUpdated file then clean and build with no luck, still getting same error, please advise.
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 :).
problem fixed after deleting the .lastUpdated file and the dependency then downloading it again.
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.
