Failed to start component - ZipException: invalid LOC header (bad signature)

eccentricCoder :

I have gone through similar posts around. I have tried most of those solutions but was not able to get rid of the error I am getting. Expecting some help on this.

This error came after I added maven dependancies to deployment assembly. I am using STS with Pivotal tc Server Development Edition v3.1. I already checked the version of tc server and java home. Both use java 8.

I cannot understand what the problem is.

The following is my pom.xml. Error came when I tried to add spring-webmvc dependancy to pom.xml.

I have solved similar kind of problem by deleting all files present in local maven repository and downloading them again.

linux or mac users can follow below steps for deleting all files.
