| I'd been working with Eclipse Kepler.  I had several Maven projects
    there.  I connected to Maven Central through a corporate Nexus
    repository.  Everything worked just fine. 
 Then I got Eclipse Luna and installed it.  Using the SAME workspace,
    with the same maven settings.xml that had the settings for the Nexus
    repository, I find that all Maven projects show errors that cannot
    be resolved by running Maven->Update.  All mention something
    about connections being refused by Maven Central.
 
 I closed Eclipse Luna and restarted Kepler on the same workspace. 
    (I was never running them simultaneously).  The same errors
    appeared, but now Maven->Update was successful in resolving them.
 
 I closed Kepler and restarted Luna on the same workspace.  Once
    again, the errors returned, and were not resolvable by
    Maven->Update.
 
 Here is one of the errors:
 
 CoreException:
      Could not get the value for parameter compilerId for plugin
      execution default-compile: PluginResolutionException: Plugin
      org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-compiler-plugin:3.1 or one of its
      dependencies could not be resolved: The following artifacts could
      not be resolved: org.apache.maven:maven-plugin-api:jar:2.0.9,
      org.apache.maven:maven-artifact:jar:2.0.9: Failure to transfer
      org.apache.maven:maven-plugin-api:jar:2.0.9 from
    http://mavencentral.it.whatever.com:8084/nexus/content/groups/whatever-public-group was
      cached in the local repository, resolution will not be reattempted
      until the update interval of nexus has elapsed or updates are
      forced. Original error: Could not transfer artifact
      org.apache.maven:maven-plugin-api:jar:2.0.9 from/to nexus (http://mavencentral.it.whatever.com:8084/nexus/content/groups/whatever-public-group):
      Connection refused: connect
 
 What might the problem be?
