Error adding the dependency for apache derby in spring boot project

Question

Because Maven Central Repository no longer supports communication over HTTP You should add this statement to Your pom.xml:

<repositories>
    <repository>
        <id>central</id>
        <name>Central Repository</name>
        <url>https://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2</url>
        <layout>default</layout>
        <snapshots>
            <enabled>false</enabled>
        </snapshots>
    </repository>
</repositories>

By adding this statement You update The Central Repository of Maven and use HTTPS instead of HTTP.
