Sitting behind a firewall is mostly the cause of such troubles. In this case you 1. need to tell maven about how to reach out through the firewall 2. and you need to tell ant about how to reach out through the firewall a) when called alone from a shell b) when called from the ant plugin (or vice vers) under maven
general for maven documented (but sometimes not enough i.e. no http.auth.preference=BAsic hint can be passed by maven to the proxy which needs this to not start negotiating with the client, where as the client might not always be able to negotiate a authentication schema. <proxies> <proxy> <active>true</active> <protocol>http</protocol> <host>bcproxyserver.ch.winterthur.com</host> <port>8080</port> <username>myusername</username> <password>mypassword</password> <nonProxyHosts>*.wgrintra.net</nonProxyHosts> <id>default</id> </proxy> </proxies> for maven we use MAVEN_OPTS= -XX:MaxPermSize=512m -Xmx950m -Xms950m -Dhttp.auth.preference=Basic -Dhttp.proxyhost=proxyserver.com -Dhttp.proxyport=8080 -Dhttp.proxyuser=myusername -Dhttp.proxypassword=mypassword For ant we use ANT_OPTS= -Dhttp.proxyHost=proxyserver.com -Dhttp.proxyPort=8080 -Dhttp.proxyUser=myusername -Dhttp.proxyPassword=mypassword -Dhttp.auth.preference=Basic AND most important, you should look at http://vouters.dyndns.org/tima/All-OS-ANT-ANT_and_URLs_authentication.html and then say thanks to Philippe Vouters, which has documented so nicely what we have done in the past to make ant going Josef -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Brett Porter [mailto:br...@porterclan.net] Im Auftrag von Brett Porter Gesendet: Dienstag, 22.
