I'm using:
Eclipse IDE for Java Developers
Version: Neon.2 Release (4.6.2)
Build id: 20161208-0600
I was unsuccessful in configuring the Maven plugin to work within my employer's firewall (using Eclipse "Mars"); I was able to download other Maven items so some part of Eclipse was able to negotiate my employer's firewall. I am now trying from home where I do not have a proxy server. I was able to successfully add the archetype following Step 4:
In the new Add Archetype dialog box, fill the data from the Startup Project Archetype Details. Leave the Repository URL field empty. Press OK to close the dialog box.
When I try to create a new project based on the archetype I get the error messages below. Here are the steps I go through:



Then I click "Finish" and receive this error message:

more fully detailed with:

The install of Eclipse Neon is a new fresh install which I created for assessing the Oxygen framework. There was not .m2/settings.xml file, so I found a generic one and added it. Here's my settings.xml:
Code: Select all
<settings xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/SETTINGS/1.0.0"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/SETTINGS/1.0.0
https://maven.apache.org/xsd/settings-1.0.0.xsd">
<localRepository/>
<interactiveMode/>
<usePluginRegistry/>
<offline/>
<pluginGroups/>
<servers/>
<mirrors/>
<proxies/>
<profiles/>
<activeProfiles/>
</settings>
I do have "Suspend all validations" checked.
What am I missing?
