Failed to load late-bound plugin: org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-resources-plugin

Question

We have our local Maven repository which was working fine till yesterday.

Today we are getting the following error while building any project.

Failed to load late-bound plugin: org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-resources-plugin

We haven't change any settings. Any idea?

Answer 1

I resolved it.

I had to delete the plugins folder on my local repository then Maven downloaded the plugins again.

It works fine now.

Answer 2

It's hard to say because you skipped the next line that prints the Reason. A typical output looks like:

[WARN] Failed to load plugin: org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-resources-plugin. Adding to late-bound plugins list.
Reason: Failed to load plugin. Reason: The plugin 'org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-resources-plugin' does not exist or no valid version could be found 

It would have been interesting to join this line to find a fix for the root cause of the problem.
