Maven scenarios to Resolve Specific Version of a Dependency in Spring Boot Application
I'm following best practices but I'm working with an scenario with my Spring Boot application where Maven is unable to resolve a specific version of a dependency, even though it exists in the repository. I'm using Maven 3.8.6 and Java 11. The dependency in question is `org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-web:2.7.5`. When I run `mvn clean install`, I receive the following behavior: ``` Could not resolve dependencies for project com.example:myapp:jar:1.0-SNAPSHOT: Failed to collect dependencies at org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-web:jar:2.7.5: Failed to read artifact descriptor for org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-web:jar:2.7.5: Could not transfer artifact org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-web:pom:2.7.5 from/to central (https://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2): Transfer failed for https://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2/org/springframework/boot/spring-boot-starter-web/2.7.5/spring-boot-starter-web-2.7.5.pom ``` I’ve verified that the version `2.7.5` exists in the Maven Central repository by checking https://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2/org/springframework/boot/spring-boot-starter-web/2.7.5/. I also checked my `settings.xml` file for any proxy settings or repository definitions that might interfere with dependency resolution. Here's the relevant section of my `pom.xml`: ```xml <dependency> <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId> <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-web</artifactId> <version>2.7.5</version> </dependency> ``` To troubleshoot further, I tried clearing the local repository using `mvn dependency:purge-local-repository` and then rebuilding the project, but the same behavior continues. I also ran `mvn -X clean install` to enable debug output, which shows that Maven is trying to connect to the central repository but fails with a `404 Not Found` for the POM file. Could this be an scenario with how the dependency is defined, or is there something wrong with my Maven setup? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance! What's the correct way to implement this? Thanks for your help in advance!
