MAVEN: FAILS TO LOAD SPRING REFERENCES

 

PROBLEM

Maven fails to load spring references

Could not calculate build plan: Plugin org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-resources-plugin:2.6 or one of its dependencies could not be resolved: Failed to read artifact descriptor for org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-resources-plugin:jar:2.6

Plugin org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-resources-plugin:2.6 or one of its dependencies could not be resolved: Failed to read artifact descriptor for org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-resources-plugin:jar:2.6

Failure to transfer org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-resources-plugin:pom:2.6 from http://maven.repository.redhat.com/ga/ was cached in the local repository, resolution will not be reattempted until the update 

 interval of redhat-ga-repository has elapsed or updates are forced. Original error: Could not transfer artifact org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-resources-plugin:pom:2.6 from/to redhat-ga-repository (http://

 maven.repository.redhat.com/ga/): maven.repository.redhat.com

 

 

SOLUTION

Check the repository location into “.m2\settings.xml”.

For instance:

C:\Users\YourLogin\.m2\settings.xml

In this case the localRepository was configured with linux’s location and not windows as it was supposed to be:

***WRONG:

/home/portables_d/mvnlibs

+++RIGHT:

${env.LOCAL}\portables_d\mvnlibs

 

ENV

windows
eclipse
java8
