No, this should "just work".
One possible point of failure is that you are using a proxy to access the 
maven repository but it has not been properly configured.

You do not need to create the folder manually (in fact, project creation 
will fail if it finds the folder there).

To get more information, please open the Events view before creating the 
project, so you can read maven messages and spot the cause for the error.

Let us know how it goes!
