Failed to create a new 7.7.1 project using Eclipse and Maven

Hi
I have download Eclipse Neon and installed the Vaadin plugin.
I tried to create a new Maven based project and I get the following error:

Could not resolve archetype com.vaadin:vaadin-archetype-application:7.7.1 from any of the configured repositories.
Could not resolve artifact com.vaadin:vaadin-archetype-application:pom:7.7.1
Could not transfer artifact com.vaadin:vaadin-archetype-application:pom:7.7.1 from/to central (https://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2): connect timed out
Could not transfer artifact com.vaadin:vaadin-archetype-application:pom:7.7.1 from/to central (https://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2): connect timed out

What do you get when you try the following in a terminal?

mvn -B archetype:generate -DarchetypeGroupId=com.vaadin -DarchetypeArtifactId=vaadin-archetype-application -DarchetypeVersion=7.7.1 -DgroupId=org.test -DartifactId=vaadin-app -Dversion=1.0-SNAPSHOT -U

(use the -U option)

P:\>mvn -B archetype:generate -DarchetypeGroupId=com.vaadin -DarchetypeArtifactId=vaadin-archetype-application -DarchetypeVersion=7.7.1 -DgroupId=org.test -DartifactId=vaadin-app -Dversion=1.0-SNAPSHOT -U

Hi 
I have another problem with 7.7.1 maven (Windows platform)

Now WidgetSetBuilder throws exception

[ERROR] Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: URI has an authority component
[ERROR]     at java.io.File.<init>(File.java:423)
[ERROR]     at com.vaadin.server.widgetsetutils.WidgetSetBuilder.updateWidgetSet(WidgetSetBuilder.java:74)
[ERROR]     at com.vaadin.server.widgetsetutils.WidgetSetBuilder.main(WidgetSetBuilder.java:54)

I dig a little and what I can see is that previously path to gwt xml was handled as String in WidgetSetBuilder

72        String wsFullPath = sourceUrl.getFile() + "/" + widgetsetFileName;
73
74        File widgetsetFile = new File(wsFullPath);
75        if (!widgetsetFile.exists()) {

Now it use URI.

63        Map<String, URL> availableWidgetSets = ClassPathExplorer
64                .getAvailableWidgetSets();
65
66        String widgetsetFileName = widgetset.replace(".", "/") + ".gwt.xml";
67        URL sourceUrl = availableWidgetSets.get(widgetset);
68        if (sourceUrl == null) {
69            // find first/default source directory
70            sourceUrl = ClassPathExplorer
71                    .getWidgetsetSourceDirectory(widgetsetFileName);
72        }
73
74        File widgetsetFile = new File(new File(sourceUrl.toURI()),
75                widgetsetFileName);

Changes seems to be linked on to issue https://dev.vaadin.com/ticket/20262
Any idea what can cause this issue?

I have the same problem, if I change from vaadin 7.7.0 to 7.7.1 ...

I also have the same problem. I'm using Eclipse Neon. I can't update my project to Vaadin 7.7.1, but I'm also not able to create a new example project with this version. It does not matter if I use eclipse or mvn on the command line.

​Should this version even work?
