Failure to transfer dependency, was cached in the local repository

I am working on maven 2 project on eclipse, and I have the m2e plugin, and I am getting the following error in Eclipse:

Failure to transfer com.thoughtworks.xstream:xstream:pom:1.3.1 from http://repo1.maven.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. 
 Original error: Could not transfer artifact com.thoughtworks.xstream:xstream:pom:1.3.1 from/to central (http://
 repo1.maven.org/maven2): Failed to create a selector. to http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/com/thoughtworks/xstream/
 xstream/1.3.1/xstream-1.3.1.pom

please advise how to fix it.
