Question

I got the following error message when I tried to create a Maven project in eclipse. Many have posted about proxies in settings.xml file and also flush the .m2 folder forcin

Answer 1

I solved it now. However it only is solved in Netbeans. Not sure why eclipse still won't take the settings.xml that is changed. The solution is however to remove/comment the User/Password param in settings.xml

Before:

    
      optional
      true
      http
      proxyuser
      proxypass
      proxyserver.company.com
      8080
      local.net|some.host.com
    
   

After:

    
      optional
      true
      http
      proxyserver.company.com
      8080
      local.net|some.host.com
