Quickstart example not working

[The-Kingpin]

I'm running on linuxMint(18.04)
Java version - openjdk version "1.8.0_222"
Maven version -3.6.2

I've downloaded the osgi enRoute startUp examples and running into this this problem.Can someone give a hand on this?

For some reason it appears that sonatype have taken the OSGi Snapshots repository out of service. I can chase this up with them, but for now you may be able to make progress by building the released version of the code. There's a tag for this, so you can just use

git checkout 7.0.0

in the repository that you've already downloaded. The existing instructions should work for you with that version, and that way you won't have to wait for the Sonatype issue to be fixed.

Back on track.Thanks!
