title: Maven clean install unable to get artifact from maven central
body: <p>After cloning the remote repo on to Linux remote machine, I am getting the following errors when trying to run <code>mvn clean install</code>:</p>
  
  <pre><code>[ERROR] The build could not read 1 project -&gt; [Help 1] [ERROR]
  [ERROR]     Non-resolvable parent POM: Could not transfer artifact xxxxx
  from/to central (http://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2):                                           Connection to http://repo.maven.apache.org refused and 'parent.relativePath' points at wrong local POM @ line 4, column 10: Connection timed out -&gt; [Help 2]

  </code></pre>
  
  <p>These errors occur <strong>only</strong> when running <code>mvn</code> commands on Linux, the project builds successfully after <code>mvn clean install</code> on Windows environment...</p>
  
  <p>Any ideas as to why this is happening on Linux machine?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks  </p>
