org.apache.maven.archetypes:maven-archetype-quickstart:1.1 from any of the 
configured repositories.

I'm not sure this is going to help or not. Use below commond for force update:

mvn clean install -U

-U -> Maven force update.

You are inside a company network, right? Then the proxy or firewall blocks your access. Configure the right proxy for Maven or talk to your administrator.

PKIX path building failed: sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target

points to a problem with SSL. either the java you use has no valid CA certificates to validate the SSL certitificate from https://repo.maven.apache.org or your company firewall is highjacking each https traffic with an own certrificate - which then itself must be available in your javas truststore.

as JF Meier said, you should contact your local admin in this case

I had the problem "Could not resolve archetype... for quickstart"
I saw some archetypes to choose from with release numbers and some with only "RELEASES" in big letters.
I followed the written path with browser and found:
501 HTTPS Required.
Use https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/
More information at https://links.sonatype.com/central/501-https-required
So they changed it to an https and you have to edit the path to reach the external Archetypes to the mentioned: https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/
This did it for me.
Possibly you have also to look for the presence and content of the
"settings.xml" in "Users\yourUserName\.m2".
