Answer 1

Try this:

1: Delete .M2 Content 2: Set the Proxy configuration in settings.xml

<proxies>
<proxy>
  <active>true</active>
  <protocol>http</protocol>
  <host>proxy.com</host>
  <port>xxxx</port>
  <nonProxyHosts>local.net</nonProxyHosts>
</proxy>
</proxies>

Be careful! don't put any username and passowrd if proxy is without auth

3: Close Eclipse..and reopen

4: clean and update project configuration

5: verify the java buld path used for the project configuration

6: Try use the Maven embedded in eclipse just for a test, to see if the problem is the external Maven installation corrupted
