[FIXED] Rebuilding maven indexes using eclipse makes no progress

Issue

i am having an issue with maven indexes rebuilding using eclipse. When I start, it just says Updating index for repository: central|https://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2

But there is no progress, or even error for tens of minutes, or nothing, it just doesn't give me any feedback.

I have also tried with other eclipse instance on my computer and problem was the same.

I am running Eclipse Neon (4.6.0 m1).

Also i Have tried to delete nexus folder from my org.eclipse.m2e.core folder in workspace.

Tried with eclipse Kepler on another computer on same network, and there is a progress (gz file being downloaded).

I am also very sure that i don't have proxy or any other limitations on my computer or network.

Solution

The progress indicator appears not to work. Left mine alone for about 8 minutes and all of a sudden it was done. (During which I had googled and found this question.)

Once it completed, you can see entries under the Global Repositories > central "folder".

I am using the Eclipse Mars release, btw.
