Maven error in eclipse (pom.xml) : Failure to transfer org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-surefire-plugin:pom:2.12.4
Solution 1
You need just to follow those steps:
- Right Click on your project: Run (As) -> Maven clean
- Right Click on your project: Run (As) -> Maven install
After which, if the build fails when you do Maven Install, it means there is no web.xml file under WEB-INF or some problem associated with it. it really works
Solution 2
Right click on project-> Maven->Click checked box 'Force Update'->Update
Solution 3
In my case it was a failed import to eclipse. I had to delete the project from eclipse (without deleting form the filesystem of course) and reimport it. After that the error was gone immediately.
Solution 4
just right click on your project, hover maven then click update project.. done!!
Solution 5
If you are using Eclipse Neon, try this:
1) Add the maven plugin in the properties section of the POM:
<properties>
<java.version>1.8</java.version>
<maven-jar-plugin.version>3.1.1</maven-jar-plugin.version>
</properties>
2) Force update of project snapshot by right clicking on Project
Maven -> Update Project -> Select your Project -> Tick on the 'Force Update of Snapshots/Releases' option -> OK
