Unable to create a maven project in eclipse

Question

I am trying to create a maven project and its showing the below error

Could not calculate build plan: Plugin org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-resources-plugin:2.5 or one of its dependencies could not be resolved: Failed to read artifact descriptor for org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-resources-plugin:jar:2.5 Plugin org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-resources-plugin:2.5 or one of its dependencies could not be resolved: Failed to read artifact descriptor for org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-resources-plugin:jar:2.5

I have m2e plugin installed in my eclipse and the system variable is also set.

C:\Users\852346>mvn -v

Apache Maven 3.3.1 (cab6659f9874fa96462afef40fcf6bc033d58c1c; 2015-03-14T01:40:2 7+05:30) Maven home: D:\apache-maven-3.3.1 Java version: 1.7.0_25, vendor: Oracle Corporation Java home: C:\Program Files\Java\jre7 Default locale: en_US, platform encoding: Cp1252 OS name: "windows 7", version: "6.1", arch: "x86", family: "windows"**
