This error generally occurs when Maven could not download dependencies. Possible causes for this error are:
- The POM misses the declaration of the
<repository>
which hosts the artifact. - The repository you have configured requires authentication and Maven failed to provide the correct credentials to the server. In this case, make sure your
${user.home}/.m2/settings.xml
contains a<server>
declaration whose<id>
matches the<id>
of the remote repository to use. See the Maven Settings Reference for more details. - The remote repository in question uses SSL and the JVM running Maven does not trust the certificate of the server.
- There is a general network problem that prevents Maven from accessing any remote repository, e.g. a missing proxy configuration.
- You have configured Maven to perform strict checksum validation and the files to download got corrupted.
- Maven failed to save the files to your local repository, see LocalRepositoryNotAccessibleException (Copy) for more details.
