Error shown when creating new Maven project in Eclipse

Question

When I am trying to create new project on Maven in eclipse IDE ,It shows the following errors:

"Could not get the value for parameter encoding for plugin execution default-resources Plugin org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-resources-plugin:2.5 or one of its dependencies could not be resolved: Failed to collect dependencies for org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-resources-plugin:jar:2.5 ()"

Anyone please tell what I have to do?

can anyone tell me the steps to create Spring project with Maven enabled?

POM.xml:

<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">

Answer 1

The following steps worked for me:

1. Close Eclipse.
2. Navigate to user home directory. (For example: "C:\Users\YourUserName\.m2")
3. Delete the "repository" folder.
4. Re-open Eclipse.
5. Click on the Maven project that has an issue and go to "Project" --> "Clean".
6. Right-click on the project and go to "Maven" --> "Update Project...".
7. Close Eclipse.
8. Open Eclipse.
9. Click on the project folder in the "Project Explorer" window (usually on the left).
10. Hit the F5 key a few times to Refresh your project.
11. Done!

These steps worked for me. If this works for you make sure to upvote, otherwise drop a comment.

Answer 2

Delete maven resource plugin jars (delete the whole folder) from this location - {user.home}.m2\repository\org\apache\maven\plugins\maven-resources-plugin and then try to rebuild again.
