title: Non-resolvable parent POM
body: <p>I am trying to develop a custom connector for mule by following <a href="http://www.mulesoft.org/documentation/display/current/Creating+a+Connector+Project" rel="noreferrer">http://www.mulesoft.org/documentation/display/current/Creating+a+Connector+Project</a> tutorial.
  As shown in the tutorial, I am creating the project through command line by executing</p>
  
  <pre><code>mvn archetype:generate
      -DarchetypeGroupId=org.mule.tools.devkit
      -DarchetypeArtifactId=mule-devkit-archetype-cloud-connector
      -DarchetypeVersion=3.4.3
      -DgroupId=org.hello
      -DartifactId=hello-connector
      -Dversion=1.0-SNAPSHOT
      -DmuleConnectorName=Hello
      -Dpackage=org.hello
      -DarchetypeRepository=http://repository.mulesoft.org/releases
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>After importing the project to mule studio I am getting following error in my <code>pom.xml</code> file near the parent tag.</p>
  
  <pre><code>Project build error: Non-resolvable parent POM:
          Could not transfer artifact
