Maven configuration issue with ECLIPSE Kepler

I tried to follow the tutorial but I had an error with maven right from the first step.

    Failure to transfer org.codehaus.plexus:plexus-archiver:pom:1.2 from           http://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2 was cached in the local repository,   resolution will 
    not be reattempted until the update interval of central has elapsed or updates are forced. Original error: Could not transfer artifact org.codehaus.plexus:plexus-
  archiver:pom:1.2 from/to central (http://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2): connection timed out to http://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2/org/codehaus/
 plexus/plexus-archiver/1.2/plexus-archiver-1.2.pom

      

        
        
        
      

    

My pom.xml looks like this:

<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
  xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/maven-v4_0_0.xsd">

I have tried many solutions such as

   mvn -U install 

      

        
        
        
      

    

but without success. do you know how i can fix this error? im working with eclipse-Kepler for java EE devlotper. and I am not working behind a proxy or firewall.
