[FIXED] Could not transfer artifacts from/to central maven repo when using Spring Framework Cloud

Issue

I am trying to create a maven project using Spring Framework Cloud. I defined pom.xml file as below

<parent>
        <groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-cloud-starter-parent</artifactId>
        <version>Brixton.RELEASE</version>
    </parent>

    <properties>
        <!-- Stand-alone RESTFul application for testing only -->
        <start-class>io.pivotal.microservices.services.Main</start-class>
    </properties>

    <dependencies>
        <dependency>
            <!-- Setup Spring Boot -->

        </dependency>

        </dependency>

        </dependency>

        <dependency>
            <!-- Testing starter -->
            <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
            <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-test</artifactId>
        </dependency>

        <dependency>
            <!-- Setup Spring Data JPA Repository support -->
            <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>

        </dependency>

        <dependency>

            <groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
            <artifactId>spring-cloud-starter</artifactId>
        </dependency>

        <dependency>
            <!-- Eureka service registration -->
            <groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
            <artifactId>spring-cloud-starter-eureka-server</artifactId>

    </dependencies>

When trying to build maven getting error for all dependencies as

When I go to the location, I can clearly see the Jar files are present in that location. Is there something else I need to add to my pom.xml?

Solution

I tried the same pom.xml inEclipse IDE and surprisingly it worked there as it is.

To make it work on STS, I added following properties

<properties>
        <project.build.sourceEncoding>UTF-8</project.build.sourceEncoding>
        <project.reporting.outputEncoding>UTF-8</project.reporting.outputEncoding>
        <java.version>1.8</java.version>
        <start-class>io.pivotal.microservices.services.Main</start-class>
        <spring-cloud.version>Brixton.RELEASE</spring-cloud.version>
    </properties>

Refer Unable to download/import package org.springframework.cloud.config.server.EnableConfigServer

This worked for me, though I am still curious about the difference.
