I have a PC that installed with gaming app like Steam or GOG but in Windows config there is no proxy and no firewall other than default ones from the OS. I have NordVPN but currently disconnected. However after installed maven 3.8.2, all mvn goal failed that can’t access maven central

PS C:DevCodeintellijmy-test> mvn archetype:generate -DgroupId="com.my.app" -DartifactId="mydemo" -DarchetypeArtifactId="maven-archetype-quickstart" -DinteractiveMode="false"

Anyone has experience to troubleshooting such issue? There is no addtional configuration from settings.xml, everything is original from maven zip file directory downloaded from maven site

PS: it is the same behavior with command line or Intellij or Eclipse. It’s not an issue with IDE but rather something in the environment/OS blocking maven, just hopefully can have some way to debug the issue

Answer

Turned out the cause of this issue is I am running OpenJDK8 in local environment where the certificate Maven is expired, upgraded to latest OpenJDK resolved the issue. @ProgrammersBlock’s advice of using -X definitely is also very helpful to identify the problem
