Why am I getting a “401 Unauthorized” error in Maven?

Question

Why am I getting a \"401 Unauthorized\" error in Maven?

Here\'s the error I\'m getting when calling mvn deploy (full logs at the bottom):

Answer 1

There are two setting.xml in windows.

• %MAVEN_HOME%\conf\
• %userprofile%\.m2\

If %userprofile%\.m2\setting.xml takes effect, maven will not access %MAVEN_HOME%\conf\setting.xml.
