How to solve maven 2.6 resource plugin dependency?

Seems your settings.xml file is missing your .m2 (local maven repo) folder.

When using eclipse navigate to Window -> Preferences -> Maven -> User Settings -> Browse to your settings.xml and click apply.

Then do maven Update Project.

On windows:

  1. Remove folder from C:\Users\USER.m2
  2. Close and open the project or force a change on file: pom.xml for saving :)

Right Click on Project go to -> Maven -> Update project ->select Force update project check box and click on Finish.


If a download fails for some reason Maven will not try to download it within a certain time frame (it leaves a file with a timestamp).

To fix this you can either

  • Clear (parts of) your .m2 repo
  • Run maven with -U to force an update
