Through wget http://repo.maven.apache.org it's not showing any error. Can any one help me in this?

I am trying to run YCSB benchmark, I got this error.

Answer 1

As the error says, you are not able to connect to the maven repository at : http://repo.maven.apache.org

Try a different repository, details here or add to your pom, this:

<repository>              
          <id>central</id>
          <name>Central</name>
          <url>http://repo1.maven.org/maven2</url>
</repository>
