Could not transfer artifact org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-parent:pom

Question

Im getting this error when I try to import any repos mainly from Spring Initializer. I'm behind a proxy but I have my proxies specified so not sure why this is failing. I have tried to run mvn dependency:purge-local-repository from Stackflow thread but this hasnt helped. I'm using java version "1.8.0_231". The error connection timed out usually points to proxy issues but I have tested and its working for almost everything else except IntelliJ and Eclipse.

Answer 1

check your IDEA's maven setting

Preferences -> Build,Execution, Deployment -> Build Tools -> Maven

is right. pay close attention to the setting of User settings file and Local repository . make sure that they match your local settings.
