Not able to create a Maven project in Eclipse Oxygen.3a

[Vivek Victor]

Hi All,
     I m trying to create a new Maven project in Eclipse Oxygen.3a but i m getting below error :

Could not resolve archetype org.apache.maven.archetypes:maven-archetype-quickstart:1.1 from any of the configured repositories.
Could not resolve artifact org.apache.maven.archetypes:maven-archetype-quickstart:pom:1.1
Failure to transfer org.apache.maven.archetypes:maven-archetype-quickstart:pom:1.1 from https://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2 was cached in the local repository, resolution will not be reattempted until the update interval of central has elapsed or updates are forced. Original error: Could not transfer artifact org.apache.maven.archetypes:maven-archetype-quickstart:pom:1.1 from/to central (https://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2): connect timed out

Original error: Could not transfer artifact org.apache.maven.archetypes:maven-archetype-quickstart:pom:1.1 from/to central (https://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2): connect timed out

Reporduce steps :
1- download Eclipse Oxygen.3a
2- New Project -> Maven project -> Select location -> select "maven-archetype-quickstart" from list

I tried the steps mentioned on this page : https://howtodoinjava.com/eclipse/how-to-import-maven-remote-archetype-catalogs-in-eclipse/
But still i m getting this error. I also verified that there is no proxy server on my laptop.

Please help.

Thanks.

It looks like there is a problem connecting to the Maven repository.  Let's try to eliminate Eclipse from the problem.

Do you have a command line Maven installed?  If you do, cd into the directory with the pom.xml file and type on a command line:

   mvn install

What happens?  The same error message?

Also, Eclipse Oxygen is very old.  Can you update your Eclipse?
