eclipse - problems with creating maven project

Question

I have tried to create a project with Maven in eclipse with no luck. I have researched and read, then tried the other solutions on other threads but I have no luck.

My settings.xml file is set and is filled out.

Whenever I try to make a maven project i always get this error:

Could not get the value for parameter encoding for plugin execution default-resources Plugin org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-resources-plugin:2.6 or one of its dependencies could not be resolved: Failure to transfer org.codehaus.plexus:plexus-interpolation:jar:1.13 from https://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2 was cached in the local repository, resolution will not be reattempted until the update interval of central has elapsed or updates are forced. Original error: Could not transfer artifact org.codehaus.plexus:plexus-interpolation:jar:1.13 from/to central (https://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2): The operation was cancelled.

@harshavmb I can't create the project, so it isn't a duplicate of that one — Banjo226, Dec 22 '15 at 12:46

What solutions have you already tried ?

I had the same problem a few months ago, and it was because I was behind a proxy. If it is the same for you, you could look at your web browser configuration.

From the documentation on Configuring a proxy:

<proxy>
  <active>true</active>
  <protocol>http</protocol>
  <host>proxyHost</host>
  <port>proxyPort</port>
  <username>proxyUser</username>
  <password>userPassword</password>
  <nonProxyHosts>www.google.com|*.somewhere.com</nonProxyHosts>
</proxy>

Do I have to change the proxy settings to my needs or leave it as is? – Banjo226 Dec 22 '15 at 12:45
If you are behind a proxy, I mean inside your organization, you have to give add proxy details in settings.xml and in eclipse as well – harshavmb Dec 22 '15 at 12:48
@harshavmb I'm not a company, I'm making a project with a mate. If I don't have a proxy (which I don't), do I change true to false? – Banjo226 Dec 22 '15 at 12:54
The problem certainly relies elsewhere then... Have you tried mvn clean, or deleting your maven cache ? – Guillaume Pansier Dec 22 '15 at 12:57
@GuillaumePansier no, I don't think so. How do I? – Banjo226 Dec 22 '15 at 13:07
you can naviguate to %userprofile%\.m2\repository and delete everything. That is the easiest way. Afterwards, update the project again. – Guillaume Pansier Dec 22 '15 at 13:15
