Unable to read the metadata file for artifact 'org.apache.tiles:tiles-core:jar'

I'm getting the following error during a maven build today.

Unable to resolve artifact: Unable to get dependency information: Unable to read the metadata file for artifact 'org.apache.tiles:tiles-core:jar': Cannot find parent: org.apache.tiles:tiles-parent for project: null:tiles-core:jar:null for project null:tiles-core:jar:null
08:52:47   org.apache.tiles:tiles-core:jar:2.0.6
08:52:47 
08:52:47 from the specified remote repositories:
08:52:47   apache.snapshots (http://repository.apache.org/snapshots),
08:52:47   central (http://repo1.maven.org/maven2),
08:52:47   nexus (http://10.210.40.37:8081/nexus/content/groups/public)
08:52:47 
08:52:47 Path to dependency: 
08:52:47    1) org.apache.maven:super-pom:pom:2.0
08:52:47    2) com.p.v.a.legacy:bo:jar:3.113.0-SNAPSHOT
08:52:47    3) com.p.v.a.legacy:s2-common:jar:3.113.0-SNAPSHOT
08:52:47    4) org.apache.struts:struts2-tiles-plugin:jar:2.3.16.3

I think its because the site : dtddoc.sf.net shows "Project web is currently offline pending the final migration of its data to our new datacenter."

Which maven is downloading as a pom, then finds out is not valid.

Can anyone suggest a solution?

Note: I'm using Maven 3.0.5, JDK 7

Note: Clearing the .m2 folder makes no difference. It stil failes to find the metadata.

Solution

  • According to SourceForge's official blog, they are moving their data into a new data center. So, all websites (hosted by their servers) get this message during the time:

    Project web is currently offline pending the final migration of its data to our new datacenter
