ERROR:

Solutions Tried:

Updated project: not able to download from REPO of maven.

Tried putting perticular jar in that folder of .m2 repo.

Can provide references if you want.

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.

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