error: error reading /root/.m2/repository/asm/asm/3.1/asm-3.1.jar; error in opening zip file
I found soon that asm-3.1.jar in .m2 was not a (corrupt) jar file but an HTML file whose content was as follows:
<html>
<head><title>301 Moved Permanently</title></head>
<body bgcolor="white">
<center><h1>301 Moved Permanently</h1></center>
<hr><center>nginx/0.6.39</center>
</body>
</html>
It seems 'mvn' cannot handle '301 Moved Permanently' properly.
So, I downloaded asm-3.1.jar from the central repository,
central / asm / asm / 3.1
http://search.maven.org/#browse|-447836703
http://search.maven.org/remotecontent?filepath=asm/asm/3.1/asm-3.1.jar
and copied it to the local repository.
$ cp asm-3.1.jar ~/.m2/repository/asm/asm/3.1/asm-3.1.jar
$ rm ~/.m2/repository/asm/asm/3.1/asm-3.1.pom
This worked in my case.
Edit: 2012/11/14
Probably, a better way than 'cp' is to use 'mvn install:install-file'. After downloading asm-3.1.pom, then type:
$ mvn install:install-file -Dfile=asm-3.1.jar -DgroupId=asm -DartifactId=asm -Dversion=3.1 -Dpackaging=jar -DpomFile=asm-3.1.pom
