Every time I create a Spring starter project in Eclipse (Luna 4.4.2) using STS, I get the following error:
I tried Maven> Update Project and mvn clean install but I didn't work. This is a completely new project, I haven't made any changes. What's happening?
Try removing the tag <relativePath/> . It looks like it is not checking the maven repository for the dependency, it might be because it thinks it is a local project due to the tag <relativePath/> .
<relativePath/>
Does it build from the command line if you do mvn package ?
mvn package
For those still facing the same error as in 2017, below is this solution.
I faced the same problem and managed to solve it
removing all maven local repo and updating it with maven -> update project
