As codehaus repository is no longer available, I get the following error whenever I try to do "Run As - Maven install" in Eclipse. Below is the error that I get:

[WARNING] Could not transfer metadata org.eclipse.core:commands/maven-metadata.xml from/to Codehaus Internal (http://repository.codehaus.org): Failed to transfer http://repository.codehaus.org/org/eclipse/core/commands/maven-metadata.xml. Error code 503, Service Temporarily Unavailable Downloading: http://repository.codehaus.org/org/eclipse/equinox/common/maven-metadata.xml

I also see that maven dependency problem has started coming up for one of the jar files that is not there in Demosite -> pom.xml. Below is the complete error information:

ArtifactDescriptorException: Failed to read artifact descriptor for org.restlet.jee:org.restlet:jar:2.1.1: ArtifactResolutionException: Failure to transfer org.restlet.jee:org.restlet:pom:2.1.1 from http://repository.codehaus.org was cached in the local repository, resolution will not be reattempted until the update interval of Codehaus Internal has elapsed or updates are forced. Original error: Could not transfer artifact org.restlet.jee:org.restlet:pom:2.1.1 from/to Codehaus Internal (http://repository.codehaus.org): Failed to transfer http://repository.codehaus.org/org/restlet/jee/org.restlet/2.1.1/org.restlet-2.1.1.pom. Error code 503, Service Temporarily Unavailable

How to resolve these 2 blockers?

Since Codehaus.org artifacts have all been transfered to Central, one easy way to keep using legacy pom.xml files is to declare the mirror as such in your settings.xml, e.g. :

<mirror>
  <id>RIP Codehaus</id>
  <mirrorOf>codehaus.org</mirrorOf>
  <name>Codehaus.org repo is now in Central. R.I.P.</name>
  <url>http://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2</url>
</mirror>
