Selenium - Maven Dependency -Failed to read artifact descriptor

Question

I'm new to Maven, and programming in general. All i have done is created this project and added selenium and testng dependencies in the pom.xml file.

When i did the maven import, for some reason pom is throwing an error saying that it cannot read artifact descriptor for selenium jar. I have used the same dependencies in other projects and they seem to import just fine.

You can see the pom below in the screenshot. Sorry if this is a dumb question, but i honestly don't know what's wrong here, and i can't seem to find a solution with google searches.

Btw, when i run mvn install, i get a "BUILD SUCCESS"..so not sure what the deal is. Help is appreciated!

As mentioned here tick the option Setting>Maven>always update the snapshot. Maybe some files are cached on your system. for detail check this https://stackoverflow.com/a/45697349/8604768
