'How to change maven's Remote Repository URL in the NetBeans IDE (from http to https)?

When trying to run a NetBeans project, I get the following error message:

Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-surefire-plugin:2.10:test (default-test) on project MyNetBeansProject: Execution default-test of goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-surefire-plugin:2.10:test failed: Plugin org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-surefire-plugin:2.10 or one of its dependencies could not be resolved: Failed to collect dependencies for org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-surefire-plugin:jar:2.10 (): Failed to read artifact descriptor for org.apache.maven.surefire:surefire-booter:jar:2.10: Could not transfer artifact org.apache.maven.surefire:surefire-booter:pom:2.10 from/to central (http://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2): Failed to transfer file: http://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2/org/apache/maven/surefire/surefire-booter/2.10/surefire-booter-2.10.pom. Return code is: 501 , ReasonPhrase:HTTPS Required. -> [Help 1]

The following part of the error message is the most important one:

Failed to transfer file: http://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2/org/apache/maven/surefire/surefire-booter/2.10/surefire-booter-2.10.pom. Return code is: 501 , ReasonPhrase:HTTPS Required.

Services -> Maven Repositories -> Central Repository -> right mouse click on "Central Repository" gives the following information:

As one can see, the Remote Repository URL is "http://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2/". I think it should instead be "https://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2/". However, the problem is that I can't seem to change the Remote Repository URL.

Does anybody know how to change maven's Remote Repository URL in the NetBeans IDE?

UPDATE:

Under NetBeans -> Preferences one can see that the maven version used by my NetBeans IDE is Version 3.0.5:

Within the Netbeans installation, this worked for me:

Goto Netbeans installation folder > java > maven > conf, and here I updated the settings.xml file using administrative privilege.

as http repo link will not work now, just I created an mirror for central repo that is pre-built with IDE which cannot be changed.

Add this inside mirrors tag of settings.xml

<mirror>
      <id>mirror1</id>
      <mirrorOf>central</mirrorOf>
      <name>mirror1</name>
      <url>https://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2/</url>
</mirror>

after this restart netbeans IDE, and central repository will be overridden with the mirror we specify.

Go maven>conf and update settings.xml

<profile>
    <id>maven-https</id>
    <activation>
        <activeByDefault>true</activeByDefault>
    </activation>
    
    
    <repositories> 
        <repository>
            <id>central</id> 
            <url>https://repo1.maven.org/maven2</url>
            <snapshots>
                <enabled>false</enabled>
            </snapshots>
        </repository>
         
    </repositories>
    <pluginRepositories>
        <pluginRepository>
            <id>central</id>
            <url>https://repo1.maven.org/maven2</url>
            <snapshots>
                <enabled>false</enabled>
            </snapshots>
