i am having an issue with maven indexes rebuilding using eclipse. When I start, it just says Updating index for repository: central|https://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2

But there is no progress, or even error for tens of minutes, or nothing, it just doesn't give me any feedback.

I have also tried with other eclipse instance on my computer and problem was the same.

I am running Eclipse Neon (4.6.0 m1).

Also i Have tried to delete nexus folder from my org.eclipse.m2e.core folder in workspace.

Tried with eclipse Kepler on another computer on same network, and there is a progress (gz file being downloaded).

I am also very sure that i don't have proxy or any other limitations on my computer or network.

  • Macen central index rebuilding may take quite a while. The progress is shown in the Progress pane. – Thorbjørn Ravn Andersen Oct 10 '15 at 21:29

    Don't give up searching on stackoverflow. –  Oct 10 '15 at 21:29
  • I have searched and searched and apparently no one posted an issue where there is literally no progress. It stands still on 0%, there is no indication that any gz is downloading and also, i cant see anything new in logs. – joxwell Oct 10 '15 at 21:42

The progress indicator appears not to work. Left mine alone for about 8 minutes and all of a sudden it was done. (During which I had googled and found this question.)

Once it completed, you can see entries under the Global Repositories > central "folder".

completed repository index

I am using the Eclipse Mars release, btw.

  • Thanks man, that did the trick for me as well. Although I had to update the M2e plugin first. I am using Eclipse Neon. – Makarand Aug 22 '16 at 14:13
  • Sometimes doing nothing is the solution. Badum tsss –  May 09 '18 at 22:02

Eclipse policy has changed to not rebuild the index now. When directly modifying pom.xml, it has been changed to be suggested in the form of auto complete.

If while the update is taking place you start a maven operation, e.g., Project(right-click), Run, Maven build..., "goals: dependency:validate", a "User Operation is Waiting" popup will show a progress monitor. It will also show your waiting maven operation. (Offering this because no answer to this question seemed satisfactory, and it still shows up as the first hit when you query "eclipse progress monitor stuck at 0%".)
