MRUnit Maven project import issue

I am studying Hadoop on the book "Hadoop, the definitive guide 4th edition" by O'Really and I am having an issue in trying to create a Maven project for MRUnit testing. I just created the pom.xml file as shown in the book (just changing my hadoop version) but it does not work and Eclipse swhow me a lot of ArtifactTransferExceptions.

My pom.xml looks like this:

<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd">

            <outputDirectory>${basedir}</outputDirectory>
        </configuration>
  </plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
</project>

May anybody tell me how to fix the problem and writing a correct pom.xml for this?

Thanks.

You could try the below steps:

1) Remove all your failed downloads with the below command:

Unix Platforms

find ~/.m2  -name "*.lastUpdated" -exec grep -q "Could not transfer" {} \; -print -exec rm {} \;

Windows Platform

cd %userprofile%\.m2\repository
for /r %i in (*.lastUpdated) do del %i

2) Now, right-click on your project in eclipse and choose Maven-> Update Dependencies (Select the check box Force Update of Snapshots/Releases), OK.
