Non-resolvable parent POM: Could not transfer artifact org.springframework.boot

Question

I am creating simple spring boot web application I am using the project generated by spring Initializer

I have set my JDK and maven in the path Also done setting for JAVA_HOME

While running the application getting following error

Non-resolvable parent POM: Could not transfer artifact org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-parent:pom:1.5.3.RELEASE from/to central (http://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2): This is usually a temporary error during hostname resolution and means that the local server did not receive a response from an authoritative server (repo.maven.apache.org) and 'parent.relativePath' points at no local POM @ line 14, column 10 -> [Help 2]

following is my POM in the project
