When I do Eclipse maven install, it fails with the below error message:

Access denied to http://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2/org/apache/maven/plugin-tools/maven-plugin-annotations/3.1/maven-plugin-annotations-3.1.pom. Error code 403, Forbidden

Below is the complete error message :

Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-surefire-plugin:2.12.4:test (default-test) on project IoTIPDev: Execution default-test of goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-surefire-plugin:2.12.4:test failed: Plugin org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-surefire-plugin:2.12.4 or one of its dependencies could not be resolved: Failed to collect dependencies at org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-surefire-plugin:jar:2.12.4 -> org.apache.maven.surefire:maven-surefire-common:jar:2.12.4 -> org.apache.maven.plugin-tools:maven-plugin-annotations:jar:3.1: Failed to read artifact descriptor for org.apache.maven.plugin-tools:maven-plugin-annotations:jar:3.1: Could not transfer artifact org.apache.maven.plugin-tools:maven-plugin-annotations:pom:3.1 from/to central (http://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2): Access denied to http://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2/org/apache/maven/plugin-tools/maven-plugin-annotations/3.1/maven-plugin-annotations-3.1.pom. Error code 403, Forbidden -> [Help 1] [ERROR]

What can be the issue?

I tried to do mvn install from command line and it ran successfully. The issue is happening only from Eclipse.Saurabh Rana

For some reason eclipse's maven is not allowed access to maven-plugin-annotations-3.1.pom.

Verify that Eclipse is using the same version of maven than the one used with command line.

If running in windows run Eclipse as Admin.
