Failed to read artifact descriptor for org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-archetype-plugin:jar

1 问题描述

之前设置了nexus私服，设置了maven-conf-setting.xml的mirror为nexus的maven-central，并注释了之前设置的阿里云私服mirror，出现了这样的报错：
Failed to read artifact descriptor for org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-archetype-plugin:jar。

接着点击maven给出的错误的解决方案：

2 可能的问题

You are referring to a non-existing plugin, e.g. by means of a typo in its group id, artifact id or version.
意思是你指的是一个不存在的插件，可能你的group id、artifact或者version写错了字。
You are using a third-party Maven plugin that is not deployed to the central Maven repository and your POM/settings is missing the required to download the plugin. Note that declarations are not considered when looking for the plugin and its dependencies, only are searched for plugins.
意思是你使用的第三方Maven插件没有部署到中央Maven仓库，您的POM/设置中缺少下载该插件所需的。请注意，在寻找插件及其依赖项时，不考虑声明，只搜索的插件。
The plugin repository you have configured requires authentication and Maven failed to provide the correct credentials to the server. In this case, make sure your ${user.home}/.m2/settings.xml contains a declaration whose matches the of the plugin repository to use. See the Maven Settings Reference for more details.
意思是你配置的插件库需要认证，而Maven未能向服务器提供正确的凭证。
在这种情况下，请确保你的${user.home}/.m2/settings.xml包含一个声明，其与要使用的插件仓库的一致。更多细节请参见Maven设置参考。
${user.home}/.m2/settings.xml是默认的存储路径，一般我们都选择其他盘存放本地maven仓库，如果你设置了自己的私服，又设置了mirror，需要配置本地仓库访问私服。
There is a general network problem that prevents Maven from accessing any remote repository, e.g. a missing proxy configuration.
有一个普遍的网络问题使Maven无法访问任何远程仓库，例如代理配置丢失。
Maven failed to save the files to your local repository, see LocalRepositoryNotAccessibleException for more details.
Maven未能将文件保存到您的本地仓库，详见LocalRepositoryNotAccessibleException。
The plugin repository you have configured is disabled for the specific version of the plugin you requested. For instance, if you want to use a SNAPSHOT version of a plugin, make sure you don't have false configured. Likewise, in order to resolve a released version of the plugin, the plugin repository should not be configured with false. See the POM Reference for more information on repository configuration.
你所配置的插件库对于你所要求的特定版本的插件是禁用的。例如，如果你想使用一个插件的SNAPSHOT版本，确保你没有配置false。同样地，为了解决插件的发布版本，插件库不应该配置false。关于版本库配置的更多信息，请参见POM参考。

3 根据原因解决

我觉得应该是原因2 导致了我的这个ERROR，因为我设置了mirror为maven-central，但是里面应该是空的没有东西，当时应该没有配置nexus的Remote storage。所以我在配置里把阿里云的镜像又开了。

   <mirror>
      <id>alimavens</id>
      <name>aliyun maven</name>
      <url>https://maven.aliyun.com/repository/public</url>
      <mirrorOf>central</mirrorOf>
    </mirror>
