Maven proxy settings not working

Question

I have setup maven proxy settings in conf/settings.xml as

  true
  http
  

        

Answer 1

Your settings file should look like the following:

    
        
            true
            http
            
            
            
            
        
    

If that's not working, then try putting your proxy settings into a browser like IE and see if it works. Also try hitting the proxy directly to ensure it's not a proxy configuration script. I don't know if maven plays well with those or not.

Though if it is a configuration script, the script should list out the correct proxy to use in your situation.

EDIT

I see you are working form conf/settings.xml where is that located? Normally the settings.xml file is located in:

/path/to/user/home/.m2/settings.xml

for you in windows that would be

C:\Documents and Settings\username\.m2\settings.xml

or

C:\users\username\.m2\settings.xml

or put it directly in your maven projects POM file.
