Question

These are my first steps with RichFaces and Maven. I’ve stuck on the error after I generated a project template using Eclipse / Maven. I will appreciate any help resolving this error:

Failure to transfer xpp3:xpp3_min:pom:1.1.4c 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 xpp3:xpp3_min:pom:1.1.4c
from/to central (http://repo1.maven.org/maven2): The operation was
cancelled. pom.xml /RFproj1 line 1 Maven Configuration Problem

I am using Eclipse 3.7 with Maven 3.0.3. The project name is RFproj1 and i generated it as:
[Eclipse] File-> New -> Other -> Maven -> Maven project etc. I am pasting also a beginning of the pom.xml, where the error’s icon stick to the line 1.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
    xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd">

    <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>

    <artifactId>RFproj1</artifactId>
    <name>RichFaces 4 Application</name>
    <version>0.0.1-SNAPSHOT</version>
    <packaging>war</packaging>

Is the problem with local repository? Should I clean it somehow? Or should I enforce any updates?

Answer 1

Remove your local repository on the hard drive and try to build a second time …best on command line via mvn clean package….
