Failed to read artifact descriptor for org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-resources-plugin:jar:3.0.5

Question

I want to build a web app using spring boot and react js (followed the tutorial here). In pom.xml I added:

<plugin>
    <artifactId>maven-resources-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>3.0.5</version>
    <executions>
        <execution>
            <id>Copy frontend production build to resources</id>
            <phase>package</phase>
            <goals>
                <goal>copy-resources</goal>
            </goals>
            <configuration>
                <outputDirectory>${basedir}/target/classes</outputDirectory>
                <resources>
                    <resource>
                        <directory>src/main/app/build/</directory>
                        <filtering>true</filtering>
                    </resource>
                </resources>
            </configuration>
        </execution>
    </executions>
</plugin>

When executing mvn clean package, i get the errors below. Maven version is 3.0.5.

Plugin org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-resources-plugin:3.0.5 or one of its dependencies could not be resolved: Failed to read artifact descriptor for org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-resources-plugin:jar:3.0.5: Failure to find org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-resources-plugin:pom:3.0.5 in http://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2 was cached in the local repository, resolution will not be reattempted until the update interval of central has elapsed or updates are forced

EDIT: I have changed the in maven-resources-plugin tag, the maven version to 3.0.2 but now i get errors on:

ERROR:

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal com.github.eirslett:frontend-maven-plugin:1.2:install-node-and-yarn (Install Node and Yarn) on project ema: The plugin com.github.eirslett:frontend-maven-plugin:1.2 requires Maven version 3.1.0 -> [Help 1]

Solution 1

In a nutshell, your problem is here:

<artifactId>maven-resources-plugin</artifactId>
<version>3.0.5</version>

This version is intended to convey the version of the maven-resources-plugin, not maven itself.

The most recent version applicable here is 3.0.2.

I also recommend that you upgrade your entire maven installation to the most recent 3.5.0 release.

Solution 2

I was facing same problem then i change code 1.5.9.RELEASE it is working now perfectlty

<parent>
    <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-parent</artifactId>
    <version>1.5.9.RELEASE</version>
    <relativePath/> <!-- lookup parent from repository -->
</parent>

Solution 3

Problem is your maven resource plugin repository version isn't valid.

Change your pom.xml file's repository to this.

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
    <artifactId>maven-resources-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>3.0.2</version>
</dependency>
