Maven error - Spring Surf Alfresco - spring

Question

To construct a project Spring Surf on Alfresco, I used the command:
mvn archetype:generate -DarchetypeCatalog=https://artifacts.alfresco.com/nexus/content/groups/public-snapshots/archetype-catalog.xml
I gave groupId=surfcmistest and artifactId=surfcmistest-1.0-SNAPSHOT. Then, on the folder surfcmistest-1.0-SNAPSHOT created by the project, I try to make build and package with Maven. I run:
mvn install
and I obtain the error:
Failed to execute goal on project surfcmistest-1.0-SNAPSHOT: Could not resolve dependencies for project surfcmistest:surfcmistest-1.0-SNAPSHOT:war:1.0-SNAPSHOT: Failed to collect dependencies at org.springframework.extensions.surf:spring-surf:jar:5.1-BF-SNAPSHOT: Failed to read artifact descriptor for org.springframework.extensions.surf:spring-surf:jar:5.1-BF-SNAPSHOT: Failure to find org.alfresco:alfresco-parent:pom:5.1-BF-SNAPSHOT in https://artifacts.alfresco.com/nexus/content/groups/public-snapshots/ was cached in the local repository, resolution will not be reattempted until the update interval of Alfresco-Artifacts has elapsed or updates are forced -> [Help 1]

What is my error?

Answer 1

The error message you are getting is:
resolution will not be reattempted until the update interval of Alfresco-Artifacts has elapsed or updates are forced
This is a very classic error and it is resolved by running Maven with the -U option.
You should restart from scratch and follow this procedure:
Remove your whole m2 repository (the default location is ~/.m2/repository) and remove any directory created by an earlier execution of the maven-archetype-plugin.
Run the command:
mvn archetype:generate -DarchetypeCatalog=https://artifacts.alfresco.com/nexus/content/groups/public-snapshots/archetype-catalog.xml
Choose the option org.springframework.extensions.surf:spring-surf-archetype (for me, it was option 1 but it can change).
Choose the version 5.1-SNAPSHOT, which was option 4 for me (but again, this can change)
Select a groupId, an artifactId, a version, a package and confirm all those properties by pressing Y.
Go into the newly created directory (it will be named after the artifactId you chose earlier) and run the following Maven command:
mvn -U clean install
