Failed to read artifact descriptor for com.sun.xml.ws:jaxws-rt:jar:2.2.8: UnresolvableModelException: Failure to transfer com.sun.xml.ws:bundles:pom

Question

I am following example from http://memorynotfound.com/deploy-jaxws-application-tomcat-example/ . I just imported this project (as Maven) into work-space, but I see following error coming:-

    Description Resource    Path    Location    Type
        ArtifactDescriptorException: Failed to read artifact descriptor for 
    com.sun.xml.ws:jaxws-rt:jar:2.2.8: UnresolvableModelException: Failure to transfer com.sun.xml.ws:bundles:pom:2.2.8 from 
    http://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2 was cached in the local repository, 
resolution will not be reattempted until the update interval of central has 
elapsed or updates are forced. Original error: Could not transfer artifact 
    com.sun.xml.ws:bundles:pom:2.2.8 from/to central

I am really exhausted with in solving the issue, please help/guide.

Answer 1

The error read connection timed out so your maven got problems to connect to the url: http://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2/com/sun/xml/ws/bundles/2.2.8/bundles-2.2.8.pom

Try it in your browser. It may be a network problem.
