Maven error: unable to get resource / server redirected too many times

Question

Our proxy went down, and I tried updating dependencies with Maven while it was shutting down. Since then I can not download anything from Maven. I get this error for everything. I tried the -U option by deleting my local repository and tried a different version of Maven (2.0.9, 2.2.1), but it does not work. Any idea how to solve this?

He also said earlier that "the repository will be blacklisted" to everyone.

Answer 1

I do not know how this solved, but I changed my password (domain / proxy) and now it works.

Answer 2

I got the same error with Windows ISA proxy. I needed to specify the name and name of the Windows domain in the ~ / .m2 / settings.xml file as follows:

<username>DOMAIN\USERNAME</username> 

Answer 3

I had the same problem.

The problem is the "domain" in the settings.xml file

 <proxy> ... <username>DOMAIN\user</username> ... </proxy> 

DOMAIN is optional if you run maven on Microsoft Systems, but it is mandatory if you run maven on UNIX systems with domain authentication and a reassigned user (the user house is in / home / DOMAIN / user), I found this trick in an empirical way.

Answer 4

Something that happened to me was that when I installed Maven, it added proxy information to ~ / .m2 / settings.xml. I do not have a proxy server, so I'm not sure where it came from, but that prevented me from downloading anything. After deleting the proxy server information, the download was successful.

Answer 5

If you need a proxy section but want to connect to the repository on the intranet, you can add an exception list: <nonProxyHosts>localhost|repoHost<nonProxyHosts>
