Eclipse Java EE New Maven Project: Could not resolve archetype
Solution 1
Please verify, in Eclipse, Windows > Preferences > Maven > User Settings, please check the User settings file (settings.xml) exists and the proxy setting inside that file is correctly pointed to your proxy server.
Solution 2
Adding the following inside "mirrors" section in the user setting.xml file.
<!-- mirrors so we can control the access of artifacts and avoid going to
the internet for artifact metadata -->
<mirrors>
<mirror>
<id>maven repo</id>
<url>http://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2</url>
<mirrorOf>central</mirrorOf>
</mirror>
</mirrors>
The official Maven 2 repository is at http://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2 hosted in the US, or http://uk.maven.org/maven2 hosted in the UK.
Solution 3
Remove C:\Users\ {your username}\ .m2\repository\org\apache\maven folder and try to create your maven project again.
Solution 4
You can also add
<mirror>
<id>ibiblio.org</id>
<url>http://mirrors.ibiblio.org/maven2</url>
<mirrorOf>central</mirrorOf>
</mirror>
Solution 5
Best solution as below:
- Close Eclipse
- Delete repository folder (you can find it in C:\Users{your user}.m2)
- Open Eclipse again. It will install maven repository automatically

I am using the latest Eclipse Java EE (Kepler) and trying to create a Maven project. When I attempt to do this, and finally click the Finish button, I get this error:
Could not resolve archetype org.apache.maven.archetypes:maven-archetype-quickstart:RELEASE from any of the configured repositories.
All I have done in terms of "set-up" is install Eclipse Java EE (I also installed the main eclipse standard 4.3 earlier). I am also on a work computer, and a proxy test I ran returned the result: This request appears to have come via a proxy.
This has driven me nearly insane, so any help would be great! Thanks!
