Issue using maven which can't see default repositories - maven

Question

My issue is that maven can't update my local repository since it can see I guess the default repositories.
Here is my settings.xml :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<settings xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/SETTINGS/1.0.0"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/SETTINGS/1.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/settings-1.0.0.xsd">

Please note that I don't have any proxy and tested without settings.xml (to force maven use default settings) but in vain.
I'm using Spring Tools Suite version 3.6.3.SR1
I can't see the issue. Please help !
