Unable to perform maven update for spring boot project in STS

Question

I have created a spring boot application and imported it into the STS. but when i tried to perform "Maven Update", it shows the following error in pom.xml file as well as didnt get updated. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

The error is as follows:-

**

Project build error: Non-resolvable parent POM for com.example:demo:0.0.1-SNAPSHOT: Failure to transfer org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-parent:pom:2.0.3.RELEASE 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.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-parent:pom:2.0.3.RELEASE from/to central (https://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2): java.lang.RuntimeException: Unexpected error: java.security.InvalidAlgorithmParameterException: the trustAnchors parameter must be non-empty and 'parent.relativePath' points at no local POM

Faced the same issue on my office laptop. They say, its due to some blockage by the firewall. Some network config should be done to get rid of this issue.

Please refer to following link.

Maven: trustAnchors parameter must be non-empty and 'parent.relativePath' @ InvalidAlgorithmParameterException @ Non-resolvable parent POM

create setting.xml at location "${user.home}/.m2/settings.xml"

Then add your office maven central repository as shown below

<settings>
 ...
 <profiles>
   ...
   <profile>
     <id>myprofile</id>
     <repositories>
       <repository>
         <id>my-repo2</id>
         <name>your custom repo</name>
         <url>http://jarsm2.dyndns.dk</url>
       </repository>
     </repositories>
   </profile>
   ...
 </profiles>

 <activeProfiles>
   <activeProfile>myprofile</activeProfile>
 </activeProfiles>
 ...
</settings>
