Cannot install spring-boot-starter-parent no matter what I do

Question

I just setup a new computer -- fully new Java 1.8 installation, new 3.5.2 Maven configuration, and I'm now working on setting up a fresh quickstart Maven project.

When I add the parent spring boot starter and a single dependency, it cannot resolve it no matter what I do.

Here's the trace:

[INFO] Scanning for projects...
[ERROR] [ERROR] Some problems were encountered while processing the POMs:

And here's my full pom.xml:

</project>

Output of mvn -version:

What could possibly be going on? I'm not behind a proxy, it fails in IntelliJ and on CMD, and everything is freshly installed w/ default settings.

I've been running IntelliJ's "reimport" but doesn't seem to help — Jaron Thatcher, Dec 06 '17 at 19:28

It seems like their issue is particular to grabbing a snapshot build. Since I'm grabbing a release, I shouldn't have to point to anything other than Maven Central as far as I know — Jaron Thatcher, Dec 06 '17 at 19:36

It's 1.5.9.RELEASE, according to their website, not 1.5.9-RELEASE.

<parent>
    <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-parent</artifactId>
    <version>1.5.9.RELEASE</version>
</parent>
<dependencies>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-web</artifactId>
    </dependency>
</dependencies>

I knew it had to be something stupid.. Thanks so much lol.. It's always amazes me how easy it is to feel like a college freshman again when programming sometimes – Jaron Thatcher Dec 06 '17 at 19:40
I have the same code as this answer (with a 'dot' before RELEASE). But still having the same error as the question. Any suggestions please? – R Dhaval Mar 20 '18 at 08:46
@RDhaval Please post a question that contains at least your pom and the error. – Joseph Ryle Mar 21 '18 at 14:24
I solved that now, after formatting my system I had forgotten to add settings.xml file in m2. That was really silly. – R Dhaval Mar 21 '18 at 14:34
