Unable to create a Maven project [message #1810647]

After selecting the archetype to create a Maven project the following error occured:

Could not resolve archetype org.apache.maven.archetypes:maven-archetype-quickstart:1.1 from any of the configured repositories.
Could not resolve artifact org.apache.maven.archetypes:maven-archetype-quickstart:pom:1.1

When i tried creating a simple Maven project without selecting the archetype there was also the following error:
Could not calculate build plan: Plugin org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-resources-plugin:2.6 or one of its dependencies could not be resolved: Failed to read artifact descriptor for org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-resources-plugin:jar:2.6
Plugin org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-resources-plugin:2.6 or one of its dependencies could not be resolved: Failed to read artifact descriptor for org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-resources-plugin:jar:2.6

Do you know what the problem could be?

It's the same underlying problem. It's similar to this

The only effective solution is to update your Java installation's certificate store, which is complex and took me an hour to figure out when I was not able to access update sites on sourceforge for this same reason.

You might try installing Java 12 and hope that works better, but that's not a great solution either and it too might have this problem.

I have tried to update my java s certification store however there is still the error. Is there any other way i could use maven in the eclipse IDE, would it work to download maven from the apache.maven.org site?
Thank you
