Question

I am new at Spring framework. I have Spring Tool Suite Version 3.1.0 installed with JDK 1.7 on my system.
Recently I imported into my IDE a pre-built Spring MVC project already working on another system. But when I am trying to build it, it is giving the following error :-

Errors occurred during the build.
Errors running builder 'Maven Project Builder' on project 'vdm'.
Could not calculate build plan: Plugin org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-resources-plugin:2.5 or one of its dependencies could not be resolved: Failed to read artifact descriptor for org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-resources-plugin:jar:2.5

Moreover, when I check Maven’s Lifecycycle Mapping, it shows :-

My Environment configuration is as :-

My pom.xml is :-

Even when I am importing the project as a Maven Project, after retrieving listings, it giving the following errors :-

Answer 1

Can you check the contents of the folder in following path.

C:\Users\{your computer user name}\.m2\repository\org\apache\maven\plugins\maven-resources-plugin\2.5

If you didn’t find this folder or there is no content there then you must check the proxy configurations of the eclipse or you might be referencing to a wrong settings.xml file of maven.

Hope this helps you.
