Maven project dependency error in eclipse using m2e plugin (for maven)

I am working on a java maven project in eclipse using the m2e plugin. I updated my system and my jvm updated from icedtea-bin-6.1.11.4 to icedtea-bin-6.1.11.5. Eclipse now outputs the below error in my pom file and I can't run my project. I am new to maven and eclipse and, after a day of googling, I still haven't managed to find a solution for this. I personally think that this is some sort of problem with eclipse (a misconfiguration?), because I am able to get a successful build on the command line with `mvn clean install -U`. Moreover, I get the same error even on a fresh eclipse install without the plugins installed. Error: Execution default-resources of goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-resources-plugin:2.5:resources failed: Plugin org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-resources-plugin:2.5 or one of its dependencies could not be resolved: Failure to transfer commons-cli:commons-cli:jar:1.0 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.
