I am using Eclipse Oxygen, and I have installed Nexus OSS Repository Manager. At Window->Preferences->Maven I have checked Download repository index updates on startup.
On startup Eclipse is trying to updated index for Nexus and it takes a while. But after that I am getting an error saying that it is unable to update index for nexus.
From the log I am extracting relevant lines:
!ENTRY org.eclipse.m2e.logback.appender 4 0 2017-07-04 10:55:22.312
!MESSAGE Unable to update index for nexus|http://localhost:8081/nexus/content/groups/public/: .m2\repository\.cache\m2e\1.8.0\33b5073b9c3fc53d62eb8dc83e442c3d\nexus-maven-repository-index.zip (The system cannot find the file specified)

java.io.FileNotFoundException: .m2\repository\.cache\m2e\1.8.0\33b5073b9c3fc53d62eb8dc83e442c3d\nexus-maven-repository-index.zip (The system cannot find the file specified)...
When I try to start new Maven project and choose Nexus Indexer as the Catalog I am getting the error message: No archetypes currently available. The archetype list will refresh when the indexes finish updating.
I am interested in why is Eclipse looking for nexus-maven-repository-index.zip instead of nexus-maven-repository-index.gz?
In the folder .m2\repository.cache\m2e\1.8.0\33b5073b9c3fc53d62eb8dc83e442c3d\ I have three files: nexus-maven-repository-index.gz (360 MB), nexus-maven-repository-index.properties (180 B) and chunks.lst (0B). No nexus-maven-repository-index.zip.
I have searched for solution on the Stackoverlow, tried lots of things, made some improvements on this issue (which was even worse than now), but did not solve it.
