Maven: Can't find artifact on downloaded projects pom - maven

Question

After downloading a pom from a project (which I know builds fine on the remote build tools), I get this error when trying to test it locally:
$ mvn clean install -DskipTests
[INFO] Scanning for projects...
Downloading from central: https://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2/com/x/nms/integration/15.2.0.19/integration-15.2.0.19.pom

Answer 1

Looks like, the problem is -
Could not find artifact com.x.nms:integration:pom:15.2.0.19
in central (://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2)
So, there are 2 things -
The artifact you are trying to include in your project is not available at the path of repository you specified.(Its the same what error message is saying)
You can change the repository path where maven is trying to find for this artifact : from repo.maven..., to the correct one. You could do this by
modifying the path either in your local pom,
or by changing it globally by editing the settings.xml file localed at .m2/settings.xml. .m2 is a hidden folder under /Users/{yourName}
( same location for both windows and mac)
