Maven Configuration Probleme with ECLIPSE Kepler

Question

I tried to follow a tutorial but, I got an error with maven right from the first step.

    Failure to transfer org.codehaus.plexus:plexus-archiver:pom:1.2 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. Original error: Could not transfer artifact org.codehaus.plexus:plexus-
  archiver:pom:1.2 from/to central (http://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2): connection timed out to http://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2/org/codehaus/
 plexus/plexus-archiver/1.2/plexus-archiver-1.2.pom

My pom.xml is as follow:

<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/maven-v4_0_0.xsd">
