"Unable to connect to: http://repo.springsource.org/libs-release" when running 'mvn site'

I'm trying to use the maven-site-plugin to generate a site for my project. For now, I've just added the plugin and am running mvn site from the root of my multi-module project.

I'm seeing the following error in the the log every time i run mvn site.

[INFO] Generating "Dependencies" report    --- maven-project-info-reports-plugin:2.7
[ERROR] 
[ERROR] Unable to connect to: http://repo.springsource.org/libs-release

The Unable to connect to message is repeated dozens of times in the log.

The project's poms can be found here: https://github.com/justinhrobbins/FlashCards_App but as stated above, i have just added the plugin the pom for maven-site-plugin

<plugin>
    <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
    <artifactId>maven-site-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>3.3</version>
</plugin>

Even though I'm seeing those errors, the build suceeds and i do see dependencies on the generated site's Dependency Convergence page.

I tried Googling the error but only found some CI build logs with the same error.

You can make the site plugin skip generating repository locations for all of your dependencies with:

-Ddependency.locations.enabled=false

That flag will make your error go away (and speed up site generation a ton)

You will no longer get a link to the repository where the binary is hosted on the reports page, but you will still get the rest of the dependency information.

As to why that error is happening, the SpringSource repo is actually an Artifactory server. It's very likely a wire is getting crossed somewhere between what the maven-site-plugin thinks it needs for report generation and Artifactory.

P.S. This flag speeds up site generation even further.

-Ddependency.details.enabled=false

It turns off super detailed examination of dependency jars. (number of classes, number of packages, file size, etc)
