Issue:

When you create and compile a project with pom.xml using m2eclipse, it may report some error like following:

 

Error:

ArtifactTransferException: Failure to transfer org.apache.felix:org.apache.felix.resolver:jar:0.1.0.Beta1 fromhttp://repository.jboss.org/nexus/content/groups/public/

 

Solution:

1. Open folder by running this text (without Quotes) in Search Explorer of Window “%USERPROFILE%.m2″.
2. After running above command, “m2″ folder of maven will open. Now search for file (without Quotes) “*.lastUpdated”.
3. In this step, delete all the files found by running Step 2.
4. Now go to Eclipse project and select “Maven | Update Dependency” or “Maven | Update Project”.

By now, your issue will be resolved.
