Answer 1

The jar file may be corrupt as a result of bad internet connection. Try removing the content of your C:\Users\[username]\.m2\repository folder. Then right click your project, select Maven, Update Project, check on Force Update of Snapshots/Releases. If you are sure only one Jar file has a problem, then you only need to delete its folder.

Why can't the exception name which dependency has a problem? Why we have to clean the entire repo for one corrupt jar? – Shirker

I have no idea what was causing the problems (what file exactly), but removing the maven folder and re-downloading dependencies / rebuilding them - helped... – Increment

Answer 2

As newbie has mentioned to clean up local maven repository, you can do it by executing mvn dependency:purge-local-repository, which will delete the jars from local-repo and re-download them.

Answer 3

• close your IDE
• delete the .jar file located in (workspace_folder_location)/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.wst.server.core/tmp0/wtpwebapps/dailyship/WEB-INF/lib/spring-context-3.1.0.RELEASE.jar
• open your IDE

If you work with maven:

• Right click on the project
• Maven -> Update Project -> check Force Update of snapshot/Releases

I think you should , rename the place where .metadata folder is located not D:/works ? – Nika

Answer 4

In Mac OS. Navigate to ~/.m2/ and run rm -rf repository/

Then reimport all your maven dependencies.

Answer 5

I had same problem because of dependencies which are available in pom.xml file,some of them are corrupted.I resolve that by simply removing .m2/repository folder contents and followed this steps.

1. Run as -> Maven clean.

2. Run as -> Maven Install.(Use good internet provider)

3. maven -> Update project.

It will help you too.

Answer 6

This worked for me:

Delete all the files on your local repo directory that causes error. Do maven clean, maven install and re-deploy your files in server. That's it.
