Could not transfer artifacts from/to central maven repo when using Spring Framework Cloud

I am trying to create a maven project using Spring Framework Cloud. I defined pom.xml file as below

When trying to build maven getting error for all dependencies as

When I go to the location, I can clearly see the Jar files are present in that location. Is there something else I need to add to my pom.xml?

Answer

I tried the same pom.xml inEclipse IDE and surprisingly it worked there as it is.

To make it work on STS, I added following properties

<properties>
        <project.build.sourceEncoding>UTF-8</project.build.sourceEncoding>
        <project.reporting.outputEncoding>UTF-8</project.reporting.outputEncoding>
        <java.version>1.8</java.version>
        <start-class>io.pivotal.microservices.services.Main</start-class>
        <spring-cloud.version>Brixton.RELEASE</spring-cloud.version>
    </properties>

Refer Unable to download/import package org.springframework.cloud.config.server.EnableConfigServer

This worked for me, though I am still curious about the difference.
