Failed to Read Artifact Descriptor: IntelliJ

Question

I am running into an issue with my Maven POM file where its unable to find spark dependency and is returning with error: Failed to read artifact descriptor for org.apache.spark:spark-streaming-kafka_2.10:jar:1.2.1

I've confirmed its not an issue with any corporate firewall as every other dependency is loaded in properly, just this one.

I have also been able to confirm in my maven settings it is attempting to pull from the following repo. I tried deleting the .m2 repo on my local machine in order to reload it, still no dice.

http://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2/org/apache/spark/spark-streaming-kafka_2.10/1.2.1/

Attached below is my pom file

<groupId>my.group.id</groupId> <artifactId>sentiment</artifactId> <version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version> <name>NPITWITTER</name>  <properties> </properties>      <dependencies>         <dependency>             <groupId>com.sparkjava</groupId>             <artifactId>spark-core</artifactId>             <version>1.1.1</version>         </dependency>         <dependency>             <groupId>org.apache.spark</groupId>             <artifactId>spark-streaming-kafka_2.10</artifactId>             <version>1.2.1</version>         </dependency>         <dependency>             <groupId>org.apache.spark</groupId>             <artifactId>spark-core_2.10</artifactId>             <version>1.2.1</version>         </dependency>         <dependency>             <groupId>org.apache.spark</groupId>             <artifactId>spark-streaming_2.10</artifactId>             <version>1.2.1</version>         </dependency>         <dependency>             <groupId>org.apache.spark</groupId>             <artifactId>spark-hive_2.10</artifactId>             <version>1.2.1</version>         </dependency>         <dependency>             <groupId>org.apache.spark</groupId>             <artifactId>spark-sql_2.10</artifactId>             <version>1.2.1</version>         </dependency>       </dependencies>

In Intellij, I had the same issue,

I did the proxy settings also, and ran the command mvn –U clean install but it's not working.

I got its resolved with the below setting enabled (highlighted in yellow)

In Intellij, go to File -> Settings -> Build, Execution, Deployments -> Maven Check the box, ‘Always update snapshots’
