Failed to read artifact descriptor Spring Boot

Issue

I added dependency for spring-boot-starter-data-jpa and spring-boot-starter-jdbc. And I get problem: "Failed to read artifact descriptor..."

I downloaded jars and added manually in folder where are all dependency and I added like Referenced Libraries, but didn't help. Can someone help me?

This is part of pom.xml:

    <parent>
        <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-parent</artifactId>
        <version>1.5.2.RELEASE</version>
        <relativePath/> <!-- lookup parent from repository -->
    </parent>

        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
            <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-jdbc</artifactId>
        </dependency>

        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
            <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-data-jpa</artifactId>
        </dependency>

Solution

Downloading the jars and adding manually will not add the dependencies and child dependecies. Also the pom would not have been updated. Try deleting the following folders

org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-jdbc 

org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-data-jpa

from your maven repository(.m2) and refresh the maven project(ALT + F5).

Then u get can get the actual error(if exists) which u can post it here.
