Unable to create spring-mvc project in STS

Question

I am trying to create a spring mvc project. I am creating a Maven project and then selecting the archetypes as

GroupId : co.ntier
ArtifactId : spring-mvc-archetype
Version: 1.0.2

I am getting this error:

Unable to create project from archetype [co.ntier:spring-mvc-archetype:1.0.2 -> http://maven-repository.com/artifact/co.ntier/spring-mvc-archetype/1.0.2]
The defined artifact is not an archetype

Answer 1

Try cleaning up your .m2\repository\ folder. Don't forget to set your proxy in settings.xml. settings.xml is manually created therefore you need to make your own and set the proxy. Here's a sample template for setting up your proxy inside settings.xml

<settings xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/SETTINGS/1.0.0"
  xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
  xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/SETTINGS/1.0.0
                      http://maven.apache.org/xsd/settings-1.0.0.xsd">
  <proxies>
   <proxy>
      <active>true</active>
      <protocol>http</protocol>
      <host> --your proxy here-- </host>
      <port> --your port no here-- </port>
    </proxy>
  </proxies>
</settings>

When you make a new Maven Project and add a new archetype, use this Repository URL instead: http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/

By the way I'm using Eclipse Luna and it works on my end.
