but on Page 4 of this tutrial, Maven is throwing this exception. Any pointers on to how to fix it?

Answer 1

It is not able to resolve maven-resources-plugin, configure your pom.xml to use external public repository which has this plugin

 <project>
  .
  .
  <repositories>
    <repository>
      <id>central</id>
      <name>Maven Repository Switchboard</name>
      <layout>default</layout>
      <url>http://repo1.maven.org/maven2</url>
    </repository>
  </repositories>
  .
