Plugin org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-dependency-plugin:2.10 or one of its dependencies could not be resolved

I tried to create AEM 6.4 project using maven archetype 10. When tried to build the project got below error.

Error:
[ERROR] Plugin org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-dependency-plugin:2.10 or one of its dependencies could not be resolved:
 Failed to read artifact descriptor for org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-dependency-plugin:jar:2.10: 
 Could not transfer artifact org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-dependency-plugin:pom:2.10 from/to central

Solution:

Check if you can download the jar from browser http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/apache/maven/plugins/maven-clean-plugin/2.5/maven-clean-plugin-2.5.jar.

If you are able to download the jar then your browser has connectivity to central but maven doesn't. So try using a proxy in settings.xml

If above didn't work try to build using command
mvn clean install -s
