Maven – How should I install missing artifacts in a maven project

maven

I am getting the following error, upon running mvn clean install

Missing:
----------
1) org.apache.maven.shared:maven-invoker:jar:2.0.6

  Try downloading the file manually from the project website.

  Then, install it using the command: 
      mvn install:install-file -DgroupId=org.apache.maven.shared -DartifactId=maven-invoker -Dversion=2.0.6 -Dpackaging=jar -Dfile=/path/to/file

  Alternatively, if you host your own repository you can deploy the file there: 
      mvn deploy:deploy-file -DgroupId=org.apache.maven.shared -DartifactId=maven-invoker -Dversion=2.0.6 -Dpackaging=jar -Dfile=/path/to/file -Durl=[url] -DrepositoryId=[id]

  Path to dependency: 
    1) org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-archetype-plugin:maven-plugin:2.0-alpha-4
    2) org.apache.maven.shared:maven-invoker:jar:2.0.6

2) org.apache.maven.archetype:archetype-common:jar:2.0-alpha-4

  Try downloading the file manually from the project website.

  Then, install it using the command: 
      mvn install:install-file -DgroupId=org.apache.maven.archetype -DartifactId=archetype-common -Dversion=2.0-alpha-4 -Dpackaging=jar -Dfile=/path/to/file

  Alternatively, if you host your own repository you can deploy the file there: 
      mvn deploy:deploy-file -DgroupId=org.apache.maven.archetype -DartifactId=archetype-common -Dversion=2.0-alpha-4 -Dpackaging=jar -Dfile=/path/to/file -Durl=[url] -DrepositoryId=[id]

  Path to dependency: 
    1) org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-archetype-plugin:maven-plugin:2.0-alpha-4
    2) org.apache.maven.archetype:archetype-common:jar:2.0-alpha-4

----------

These artifacts are available in main maven repository: maven-invoker:2.0.6 and archetype-common:2.0-alpha-4 and they should be resolved automatically.

Your problem is this Nexus repository: http://nexus.browsermob.com. I don't have access to it, but it must be configured to proxy maven central repository. If you are an employee of BrowserMob, ask person responsible for Nexus server. If not - just remove this repository from pom.xml or settings.xml globally. Chances are you will be able to build the project successfully.
