Cannot select Maven dependency from within Eclipse

Question

I have the Select Dependency Window open from within the Maven Repositories view in Eclipse Mars.

I want to be able to select from auto-populated entries when I type into the filter box. Instead, I get no search results at all:

These are my Maven settings:

When I select "Rebuild Index" against the central Global Repository, it hangs on 0%.

There are a small handful of questions around this topic, but the most commonly provided answer is to check the "Download repository index updates on startup". This has not solved the problem.

Here are a few things to check/know:

You might not have properly set up proxy settings. If this is the case (which is most-likely), then it's understandable that it's not moving past 0%.
It might take a while to download the indexes. These are normally 150-200 MB.

Thanks, how do I check proxy settings? I'm not using a proxy; everything I'm doing is done on a single, local machine. Also, why can't I select dependencies from the viewer? I have to resort to adding them manually by finding them on a repository website, e.g. mvnrepository.com. – Jan 20 '16 at 10:50

else Delete content in .metadata.plugins\org.eclipse.m2e.core\nexus Enable full index from preferences --> maven Else there is proxy issue for you where you would need to configure settings.xml from ~/.m2/settings.xml with the necessary proxy details

Thanks, I did that and it made no difference. I still don't know why I can't select dependencies from the viewer, and instead have to add them manually to the pom.xml. – Jan 20 '16 at 10:52
