解决方式：
1.找到maven库目录，进入：~\.m2\repository\org\apache\maven\plugins\maven-surefire-plugin\2.7.1
2.若2.7.1目录下只有，"maven-surefire-plugin-2.7.1.pom.lastUpdated" 则需要到http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/apache/maven/plugins/maven-surefire-plugin/2.7.1/，把里面的文件下载下来放到2.7.1
3.删除2.7.1下的maven-surefire-plugin-2.7.1.pom.lastUpdated文件。
4.项目右键-->maven-->Update Dependencies
