Why maven create folders on my project root?

im facing this problem and I dont know what to do. We import a project from git to Intellij, and when we execute mvn clean install, maven start creating all dependencies folders on our project root. This only happpends on one of our PCs, and we have no idea why:
Any idea about how to solve this?
Thanks!

Intellij

This sounds like maven is configured to use the project root/the current directory as the location for the local repository.
Check settings.xml in ~/.m2, possibly rename it and try again.

Failure to find org.geoserver:gs-wms:jar:2.5.2

I have failed to build a maven web application because of one dependency gs-wms from geoserver.
Here is pom.xml

How to optimize mvn dependency download

Why does mvn wait for other calls when it is already done with the download
Based on the logs below, maven tries to download from other repositories though on line 5 it says "Downloaded". Looks like mvn did not find any updates on this resource, I guess that is why it reports "(0 B at 0.0 KB/sec)". I am not sure. Original subdomain is concealed here and shown as 'xyz' or 'abc', they are actually valid subdomains on intranet.
