Intellij pom.xml dependency could not be resolved - maven

Question

My project is unable to resolve the com.twitter:hbc-core:2.2.0 dependency. You can see the pom.xml file below. I've tried reimporting all Maven projects, and I see that the dependency is in the repository at https://search.maven.org/artifact/com.twitter/hbc-core/2.2.0/jar . The central repository used is https://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2 . The classes are not able to be imported, and alt + enter does not offer a meaningful import.
Minimal, complete, verifiable example:
import com.twitter.hbc.core.endpoint.StatusesFilterEndpoint;
public class TwitterProducer {
public static void main(String[] args){
StatusesFilterEndpoint hosebirdEndpoint = new StatusesFilterEndpoint();
}
}
What might I be missing here?

Answer 1

Based on the communication in the comments, it appears that some dependencies downloaded by Maven into the local .m2 folder were corrupted.
Forcing Maven to download them again by removing/renaming this folder has solved the problem.
