I often getting the following error when compiling a maven project with NetBeans:
Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-install-plugin:2.3.1:install (default-install) on project xxx: Failed to install artifact yyyy: C:\...\.m2\repository\...\yyyy-1.0.0.jar (Access is denied) -> [Help 1]
I don’t know what is causing it. Solution is to erase the problematic .m2 content manually and the issue goes. But it is annoying.
Anyone has a permanent solution?
EDIT
[ERROR] Failed to execute goal

This issue started to happen after a NetBeans crash. I finally deleted the content of .m2 and re-installed NetBeans from scratch. The issue disappeared. I am still unclear what would cause it, but it is now gone.
