Answer 1

I just copied setting.xml which comes under "\apache-maven-3.1.1\conf" directory, to the directory "${user.home}/.m2/)" of windows machine and change the required proxy setting according to my network as below and it worked for me.

<proxy>
  <id>optional</id>
  <active>true</active>
  <protocol>http</protocol>
  <host>www-proxy.xxxx</host>
  <port>8080</port>
</proxy>

Answer 2

Found solution:

Solution #1:

issue was with proxy in settings.xml file:

<host>webproxy</host>

to get host goto IE->tools->connection->LAN settings->advanced->http.

=====

Solution #2:

if auto configured proxy is given: then

1> open IE(or any browser)

2> get the url address from your browser through IE->Tools->internet option->connections->LAN Settings-> get address and give in url eg: as http://autocache.abc.com/ and enter, a file will be downloaded with .pac format, save to desktop

3> open .pac file in textpad, identify PROXY:

In your editor, it will come something like:

   return "PROXY web-proxy.ind.abc.com:8080; PROXY proxy.sgp.abc.com:8080"; 

4> go to Maven settings.xml and enter as:

<proxy>
      <id>optional</id>
      <active>true</active>
      <protocol>http</protocol>          
      <host>web-proxy.ind.abc.com</host>
      <port>8080</port>          
</proxy>

5> run mvn:install through command prompt or run through eclipse.

=====

Solution #3:

For any other issues delete maven local repository and run mvn:install again.

Answer 3

Window-Preferences-Maven-User Settings. Check, does settings.xml exists? if eclipse says no, get settings.xml from you friend or set the path to it.

Answer 4

Try checking proxy settings in settings.xml file located under following directory:

C:\Users\UserName\.m2

Answer 5

We have observed that the maven project creation fails when it tries to download the archtype from this URL: Maven Repository which falls under "https" protocol.

So solution #2 mentioned above worked only after a little change to the settings.xml. Instead of using "http" protocol I have to use "https"

<proxy>
  <id>optional</id>
  <active>true</active>
  <protocol>https</protocol>          
  <host>web-proxy.ind.abc.com</host>
  <port>8080</port>          

Hope it helps someone.

Note: Make sure that you check the following internet settings.

Internet Explorer > Internet Options > Connections [TAB] > LAN Settings > Under Proxy server check Use proxy server for LAN > Advanced > Check "same proxy server for all protocols" and Click OK.

Answer 6

Adding below under proxy tag in settings.xml worked for me

<proxy>
  <id>optional</id>
  <active>true</active>
  <protocol>https</protocol>          
  <host>web-proxy.ind.abc.com</host>
  <port>8080</port>  
</proxy>
