maven in 5 min not working

Question

I have downloaded latest

maven 3.0.3, java version \"1.6.0_18\".

mvn –version

Apache Maven 3.0.3 (r1075438;          


        

Answer 1

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"

  optional
  true
  https          
  web-proxy.ind.abc.com
  8080          

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.
