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"
threw following error
[WARNING] org.apache.maven.plugins/maven-metadata.xml failed to transfer from https://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2 during a previous attempt. This failure was cached in the local repository and resolution will not be reattempted until the update interval of central has elapsed or updates are forced.

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
