  <p>I am unable to build the project. I am getting the below error :</p>
  
  <pre><code>Project build error: Non-resolvable parent POM: Failure to transfer org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-parent:pom:1.4.0.RELEASE from http://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.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-parent:pom:1.4.0.RELEASE from/to central (http://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2): repo.maven.apache.org and 'parent.relativePath' points at wrong local POM
