Usual reasons:

  • Proxy or Firewall blocks the request.
  • Wrong entries in settings.xml (if you have one)

Try creating a project from the command line:

mvn archetype:generate -DarchetypeGroupId=org.apache.maven.archetypes -DarchetypeArtifactId=maven-archetype-webapp -DarchetypeVersion=RELEASE

If not you have a maven problem so, assuming windows and your actual directories may vary, make sure :

1) Your JAVA_HOME environment variable is set to .../jdk1.8/ directory

2) Your M2_HOME is set to your ../apache-maven-3.... directory

3) %JAVA_HOME%/bin & %M2_HOME%/bin are in your path

4) Check this with mvn -version, you should see something like:

Apache Maven 3.3.9 (bb52d8502b132ec0a5a3f4c09453c07478323dc5; 2015-11-10T16:41:47+00:00)
