title: m2eclipse will not download any dependencies
body: <p>I was hoping someone might be able to help. </p>
  
  <p>On a brand new windows machine. I've downloaded and installed java jdk before downloading and running the latest version of eclipse (indigo). </p>
  
  <p>From there I have installed the maven integration plugin from the marketplace and created a new maven projected. </p>
  
  <p>The project has a ton of errors mainly to do with missing dependencies or life cycle management. </p>
  
  <p>When I do maven-clean I get the following error message:</p>
  
  <pre><code>[ERROR] Plugin org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-clean-plugin:2.4.1 or one of its dependencies could not be resolved: Failed to read artifact descriptor for org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-clean-plugin:jar:2.4.1: Could not transfer artifact org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-clean-plugin:pom:2.4.1 from/to central (http://repo1.maven.org/maven2): Invalid argument: getsockname to http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/apache/maven/plugins/maven-clean-plugin/2.4.1/maven-clean-plugin-2.4.1.pom -&gt; [Help 1]
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I am not behind a firewall and I do not use a proxy. My maven settings.xml is completely default as is my maven project. No classes added, nothing added to the pom.</p>
  
  <p>Can anyone help?</p>
  
  <p>All the best.</p>
  
  <p>p.s here are the errors shown in the pom:</p>
  
  <p>1:</p>
