I am new to maven, 
I have installed apache-maven-3.6.1 
using it via visual studio code
First creating workspace was throwing error due to maven was behind proxy
I updated setting.xml in maven, added proxy and workscpace was created by vsc

Its a fresh workspace, but the pom.xml is throwing error in first project tag as mentioned in title 

I searched and added the same settings.xml file in C:\Users\Myacc.m2 folder and checked

I deleted the m2 folder and checked

I executed mvn clean package in project directory

none of it worked

http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd"> 

this the xml tag which is throwing error

From browser I am able to access
<http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd>

I could not find .lsp4xml\cache\http\maven.apache.org , thought of keeping the xsd manually
