Hierarchical dependency issue on Maven Build - eclipse

Question

This is the error I have when building my Maven Project.
Source of project: Project, Github link
Setup: Eclipse IDE on Windows.
[ERROR] Failed to execute goal on project uicontroller-service: Could not resolve dependencies for project poc.microsvc-angular:uicontroller-service:jar:0.1.0: Failed to collect dependencies at poc.microsvc-angular:microservice-common:jar:0.0.1-SNAPSHOT -> org.apache.kafka:kafka_2.10:jar:0.8.2.1 -> org.apache.zookeeper:zookeeper:jar:3.4.6 -> org.slf4j:slf4j-log4j12:jar:1.7.21: Failed to read artifact descriptor for org.slf4j:slf4j-log4j12:jar:1.7.21: Could not transfer artifact org.slf4j:slf4j-log4j12:pom:1.7.21 from/to public (https://globalrepository.mclocal.int/artifactory/public): connect timed out -> [Help 1]

Is there a chance of corrupted jars or is it something else?

Answer 1

Looks like your local ~/.m2/settings.xml or C:\Users\myUserName\.m2\settings.xml for windows has configuration to point to a corporate /internal mirror of maven central. You can temporarily remove this potentially to fix your issue.
