[FIXED] Maven compiler-plugin access forbidden

Issue

Suddenly I started seeing this error when running a maven project on Jenkins

Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-compiler-plugin:3.8.0:compile (default-compile) on project my-project: 

Execution default-compile of goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-compiler-plugin:3.8.0:compile failed: Plugin org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-compiler-plugin:3.8.0 or one of its dependencies could not be resolved: 

Failed to collect dependencies at org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-compiler-plugin:jar:3.8.0 -> org.codehaus.groovy:groovy-eclipse-compiler:pom:3.0.0-01: Failed to read artifact descriptor for org.codehaus.groovy:groovy-eclipse-compiler:pom:3.0.0-01:

Any idea what might be the issue?

Solution

org.codehaus.groovy:groovy-eclipse-compiler is available on Maven Central which is also recommended on its home page:

Current version of the groovy-eclipse-compiler adapter: maven-centralv3.7.0
