- You might have your maven settings.xml file in: c:\users\username\.m2\settings.xml
- where as your eclipse is pointing to "maven installation dir"\conf\settings.xml
- Change setting file path in eclipse,
window -> preferences -> maven -> usersettings -> to the one which have the right settings.xml file
This should fix the problem.
if you see the console, it might be actually trying to connect to some Jboss url to download your maven dependencies.
