Maven error - Spring Surf Alfresco

Question

To construct a project Spring Surf on Alfresco, I used the command:

mvn archetype:generate -DarchetypeCatalog=https://artifacts.alfresco.com/nexus/content/groups/public-snapshots/archetype-catalog.xml

I gave groupId=surfcmistest and artifactId=surfcmistest-1.0-SNAPSHOT. Then, on the folder surfcmistest-1.0-SNAPSHOT created by the project, I try to make build and package with Maven. I run:

mvn install

and I obtain the error:

Failed to execute goal on project surfcmistest-1.0-SNAPSHOT: Could not resolve dependencies for project surfcmistest:surfcmistest-1.0-SNAPSHOT:war:1.0-SNAPSHOT: Failed to collect dependencies at org.springframework.extensions.surf:spring-surf:jar:5.1-BF-SNAPSHOT: Failed to read artifact descriptor for org.springframework.extensions.surf:spring-surf:jar:5.1-BF-SNAPSHOT: Failure to find org.alfresco:alfresco-parent:pom:5.1-BF-SNAPSHOT in https://artifacts.alfresco.com/nexus/content/groups/public-snapshots/ was cached in the local repository, resolution will not be reattempted until the update interval of Alfresco-Artifacts has elapsed or updates are forced -> [Help 1]

What is my error?

what maven SDK version are you using? the pom you attached doesn't show it. as it states here: docs.alfresco.com/5.0/tasks/… you seem to be using an old on, mvn archetype:generate -Dfilter=org.alfresco.maven.archetype:alfresco-amp-archetype here you'll find the catalog is no longer necessary, in your mvn command. — Teqnology
what I menat was: Alfresco Maven SDK, there is no sign of the version in your pom, you should have something like <parent> ... <artifactId>alfresco-sdk-parent ... <version>2.1.0 ... It looks to me you're using an old one, and you're not following the latest directives as in the link I pasted there (no need to specify a catalog for instance) — Teqnology
How can i see the version? But without the catalog i cannot find the spring-surf — PRVS

The error message you are getting is:

resolution will not be reattempted until the update interval of Alfresco-Artifacts has elapsed or updates are forced

This is a very classic error and it is resolved by running Maven with the -U option.

You should restart from scratch and follow this procedure:

Remove your whole m2 repository (the default location is ~/.m2/repository) and remove any directory created by an earlier execution of the maven-archetype-plugin.
Run the command:
```
mvn archetype:generate -DarchetypeCatalog=https://artifacts.alfresco.com/nexus/content/groups/public-snapshots/archetype-catalog.xml
```
- Choose the option org.springframework.extensions.surf:spring-surf-archetype (for me, it was option 1 but it can change).
- Choose the version 5.1-SNAPSHOT, which was option 4 for me (but again, this can change)
- Select a groupId, an artifactId, a version, a package and confirm all those properties by pressing Y.
Go into the newly created directory (it will be named after the artifactId you chose earlier) and run the following Maven command:
```
mvn -U clean install
```
