Unable to create new maven project using jersey-quickstart-webapp archetype

Question

I am a newbie to jersey and maven. I am trying to create a new maven project based on the jersey-quickstart-webapp archetype, using Eclipse (Luna).

When I go to create the project, I select the "jersey-quickstart-webapp" archetype. Eclipse finds this archetype in the "Maven Central" catalog:

However, when I go to create the project, I get the message:

I don't understand why I am getting this. The archetype exists in the central repository at http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/glassfish/jersey/archetypes/jersey-quickstart-webapp/2.14/

and Eclipse can find it when I search for it using the create new project wizard.

I have also tried to create the project from this archetype using the command line:

mvn archetype:generate -DarchetypeGroupId=org.glassfish.jersey.archetypes -DarchetypeArticfactId=jersey-quickstart.webapp -DarchetypeVersion=2.2

When I do this, the project is created; however, when I import it, I get the following error appearing in my POM file:

so it cannot download the dependency:

<dependencyManagement> <dependencies> <dependency> <groupId>org.glassfish.jersey</groupId> <artifactId>jersey-bom</artifactId> <version>${jersey.version}</version> <type>pom</type> <scope>import</scope> </dependency> </dependencies> </dependencyManagement>

When I look in my {homepath}.m2 directory, the contents of the jersey-quickstart-webapp download appear to be there. However, the contents of the {homepath}.m2\repository\org\glassfish\jersey\jersey-bom\2.14 download just shows a .lastUpdated file, with no content. The .lastUpdated file has the contents:

http\://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2/.error=Could not transfer artifact org.glassfish.jersey\:jersey-bom\:pom\:2.14 from/to central (http\://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2)\: Access denied to http\://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2/org/glassfish/jersey/jersey-bom/2.14/jersey-bom-2.14.pom. Error code 403, Forbidden @default-http\://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2/.lastUpdated=1419265078216

I don't understand why this import is failing. When I open a browser and go to http://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2/org/glassfish/jersey/jersey-bom/2.14/jersey-bom-2.14.pom I can view the contents no problem.

I am not sure how to move forward on this and create a new project based on the jersey-quickstart-webapp archetype. I appreciate any suggestions. Thanks for the help.

Check here: https://books.sonatype.com/m2eclipse-book/reference/repository-sect-repo-view.html

In principle it's central repository which should be updated.

Add Java.net repo in your app: <project ...> <repositories> <repository> <id>java.net</id> <url>https://maven.java.net/content/repositories/public/</url> </repository> </repositories> </project>
