Answer 1

I encountered the same issue along seemingly random with 404 errors and the only thing that fixed it for me was to do the following :

• Delete the .m2 folder in C:\Users\%USERNAME%\
• Right-click the project : Maven -> Update Project -> Force update of snapshots/Release
• Run Maven clean/install
