Please I need help with resolving an issue with Spring and Eclipse. I have tried solving some other issues but this one is strange and I could not resolve it.
I am trying to build a web application using Spring and Eclipse but it showing an error on the pom.xml file. I have attached the pom.xml file.
Failure to transfer org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-surefire-plugin:pom:2.18.1 from http://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.apache.maven.plugins:maven-surefire-plugin:pom:2.18.1 from/to central (http://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2): null to http://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2/org/apache/maven/ plugins/maven-surefire-plugin/2.18.1/maven-surefire-plugin-2.18.1.pom"
This is the full content of my pom;
