I'm facing this same error in executing my spring-boot app.

I have already tried clearing the Maven repository and forcing updates with the -U switch, but the issue persists. This error prevents any Maven build from completing successfully. Does anyone have insights on what might be causing this issue or how to resolve it? Here are some of the environment settings and actions I've tried:

-Switching between Java JDK versions -Using different Maven versions -Clearing the .m2 repository -Running Maven with -X for debug output -No Blocks in firewall or Anti-Virus

Any suggestions or guidance from anyone would be greatly appreciated!
