Maven archetype:generate | Build Failure

Question

I installed Maven on a AWS Instance with all All-traffic Open. When I execute "mvn archetype:generate" its showing "Build Failure". I amn't using any proxy, no firewall rules and disabled selinux as well.

Still it showing errors.

Output of mvn -v
