Unable to load the mojo 'test' - org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-surefire-plugin:3.0.0-M1:test

I am building my apps with Maven-3 and i guess after auto-refresh of maven-surefire-plugin to 3.0.0-M1 i am not able to do build and getting the below error.
As a initial step, I have cleared the directory /org/apache/maven in my repository however still i am facing the issue. Can anyone advise. Note - if i am downgrading the surefire plugin to 2.x then I am able to build it.

You can upgrade your maven version to 3.6.0 latest to solve this issue. This can be compatible from 3.3.9 maven version.

Looking at the comments on upgrading maven version, we updated our maven version and was able to overcome the surefire plugin issue using maven 3.3.9. Didn't get any issues.

I found that my NetBeans was using a very old maven (3.0.5) even though I had a brand new maven installed.
On my Mac, I had to go to the menu "Netbeans/Preferences", select the "Maven" tab, and change from "Bundled", browsed to latest, and this got rid of the error above for me.

I had this problem until I discovered that we were not explicitly specifying the version of the surefire plugin. Once I changed our pom.xml file to set the version, it worked.

You can downgrade the version of maven-surefire-plugin to 2.12.4 using the pluginManagement tag. It worked for me.

If you are facing the issue in netbeans IDE you need to change default mavenhome version.follow the below steps
in menu bar tools->Options->click java tab --> under categories --> Execution --> Maven home drop down select manually installed location of the maven

I agree with SomMS's answer
But as an FYI, I found this thread, immediately dismissed that maven version could be the problem the as I just (last week) built this RHEL VM and it was new and shiny
... 15 minutes later I decided to check the maven version to find it was v3.0.5!
Hopefully the next guy doesn't make the same mistake
And if you are wondering how to get the version of whats installed try
mvn --version

I used #SomMS's suggestion and upgraded Maven in order to fix the issue. It worked.
The problem is that, at the time of this writing, the latest version of Maven available on CentOS 7 is 3.0.5 (default repository), which is really old (Feburary 2013). Most other distros have way newer Maven versions available to them.
My only solution was to do a manual download and add path to its binary in PATH env-variable. Downside here is that now rpm/yum are not aware of its existence.

Resolving Maven dependencies: Proxy authentication problems

I am working at a company where the local machines are working behind a proxy. The proxy requires no authentication. I have a maven project in IntelliJ which works on my laptop but which I cannot get working on the local machine.
So I have imported the project on my local machine.
Set the proxy settings in IntelliJ
Set the proxy settings in my maven settings.xml as shown in this stackoverflow queston
I have also tried the solution presented in this question
where I add -DproxySet=true -DproxyHost=myproxy.com -DproxyPort=3128 with my proxy settings.
I keep on getting the following errors. In IntelliJ my pom file says:
I have also tried mvn -U clean install as suggested here But then I get the following errorstack:

So according to the error it has failed to authenticate on the proxy, but the proxy needs no authentication. Any idea's how to tackle this issue?

Be sure to declare proxy in maven folder/conf/settings.xml:
<proxy>
<id>optional</id>
<active>true</active>
<protocol>https</protocol>
<username>user</username>
<password></password>
<host>proxyhost</host>
<port>443</port>
<nonProxyHosts>local.net|some.host.com</nonProxyHosts>
</proxy>
Be sure to link the correct settings.xml in Intellij Project clicking on File\Settings\Maven\User Settings File.
Also your exact error is
org.apache.maven.plugin.PluginResolutionException
It seems you need to declare the dependency's pluginrepo in the pom.xml OR the dependency isn't managed anymore from the oldest repo.
Infact the dependency 2.5 is super old, try:
<!-- https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.apache.maven.plugins/maven-clean-plugin -->
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-clean-plugin</artifactId>
<version>3.0.0</version>
</dependency>
EDIT:
probably due to Proxy settings (Kerberos NTLM proxy maybe) try this in settings.xml:
<username>DOMAINNAME\USERNAME</username>

Try this, hope it will work.
Eclipse -> window -> preferences -> search for proxy -> Network connection
** check the proxy (password should be correct)
Go to C:\Users\****\.m2\settings.xml - check the setting.xml file - verfiy these lines ->
<id>http-proxy</id>
<active>true</active>
<protocol>http</protocol>
<host>***host***</host>
<port>8080</port>
<username>***username***</username>
<password>***password***</password>
<nonProxyHosts>****</nonProxyHosts>
</proxy>

Maven install generates meta-data-local.xml instead of meta-data.xml

When I run maven install -o -X, maven puts the output (a jar) to the .m2 folder. The problem is that in my case this generates a metadata file named "maven-metadata-local.xml". When I reference this artifact from another maven build, maven complains that the metadata file "maven-metadata.xml" cannot be found (at the exact same location).
So basically I have to questions:
Where does the "-local" part come from and what does it exactly mean?
How to I make this build work, i.e. tell maven to name the meta-data file "maven-metadata.xml" while building the first artifact or tell maven to look for the file "maven-metadata-local.xml" when resolving the dependencies in the second build?
The dependency in the second pom is:
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>a.b.c</groupId>
<artifactId>d</artifactId>
<version>1.0.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
the location of the jar in the local .m2 directory is
.m2/a/b/c/d/1.0.0-SNAPSHOT/d-1.0.0-SNAPSHOT.jar

Maven not working when 'mvn package' command is run

I am working on a Spring mvc using Eclipse. Until now I was using ant to create war file. But now I switched to Maven. I have copied Maven 3.3 on my system and set system variables for Maven. It works fine, when I run Maven following command from command prompt:
mvn -version
I have created a pom.xml file in my Spring mvc app's root directory. I run Maven through command prompt, not through Eclipse. When I run following command:
mvn -X package
it shows following errors:

It says connection timed out, but my internet is running fine.

199.27.79.215 is not the right IP address for repo.maven.apache.org. The right IP address is 23.235.40.215 (as of 9/10/2015 from my desktop). If I open a browser to https://199.27.79.215/, I get a web page which says unknown domain: 199.27.79.215.
The problem is that Maven is being run in an environment without a direct connection to the Internet. Maven needs to be configured to go through the HTTP Proxy. The Maven documentation for this is found here. Here's the information...
Configuring a proxy
You can configure a proxy to use for some or all of your HTTP requests
with Maven. The username and password are only required if your proxy
requires basic authentication (note that later releases may support
storing your passwords in a secured keystore - in the mean time,
please ensure your settings.xml file (usually
${user.home}/.m2/settings.xml) is secured with permissions appropriate
for your operating system).
The nonProxyHosts setting accepts wild cards, and each host not to
proxy is separated by the | character. This matches the JDK
configuration equivalent.
<settings>
.
.
<proxies>
<proxy>
<id>example-proxy</id>
<active>true</active>
<protocol>http</protocol>
<host>proxy.example.com</host>
<port>8080</port>
<username>proxyuser</username>
<password>somepassword</password>
<nonProxyHosts>www.google.com|*.example.com</nonProxyHosts>
</proxy>
</proxies>
.
.
</settings>

I found that setting my MAVEN_OPTS environment variable worked. Apparently JDK7 has some issues with it: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-5162
export MAVEN_OPTS="-Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true"

You are using the repository which is available at
repo.maven.apache.org:443 [repo.maven.apache.org/199.27.79.215]
and as the error says, maven is not able to reach that URL:
org/maven2): Connect to repo.maven.apache.org:443 [repo.maven.apache.org/199.27.79.215] failed: Connection timed out: connect -> [Help 1]
Check your internet connection and make sure you are able to reach the repo. You can test it by trying to hit the URL in browser or by using curl

Neo4j 2.1.6 Hello World in NetBeans maven project

My configuration is :
* OS : Windows 8
* Neo4j community 2.1.6 (latest stable)
* IDE : NetBeans 8.0.2 (latest)
* java -version
java version "1.8.0_25"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_25-b18)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.25-b02, mixed mode)
I created a maven Java project and put the Hello world example provided by Neo4j guys for the appropriate version.
I added all the main dependencies (neo4j-kernel 2.1.6) and maven transitively added the remaining dependencies.
Build process is 100% OK
I still get a the following exception at runtime :
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.RuntimeException: Error starting org.neo4j.kernel.EmbeddedGraphDatabase, C:\Users\Mehdy\Documents\NetBeansProjects\neo4j-example\target\neo4j-hello-db
I looked in the stack trace and I found $EmbeddedGraphDatabase constructor is deprecated.
Here's the whole console output :

I don't think it's a dependency problem but the use of a deprecated method. How can I get rid of this code snippet and use something compliant neo4j 2.1.6 ?
I tried different solutions found in SO, but still the same result.
What should I do to make this work ?

You're missing a dependency. Neo4j requires a schema index provider which is located in neo4j-lucene-index. Since it's an exchangeable component (you can write your own index provider) it's bundled in a separate artifact.
Amend your dependencies in pom.xml with:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.neo4j</groupId>
<artifactId>neo4j-lucene-index</artifactId>
<version>2.1.6</version>
</dependency>
If you only want to have one single dependency for all neo4j stuff in your pom.xml use:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.neo4j</groupId>
<artifactId>neo4j-community</artifactId>
<version>2.1.6</version>
</dependency>
