Original error: Could not transfer artifact org.apache.maven:maven-plugin-api:jar:2.0.9 from/to central

Any idea why this error

Answer 1

Seems very similar with this one. As suggested in the answer of the linked question try the -U switch.

Of course assuming that STS has properly configured Maven (either the build one or the one configured in your machine).
