When I start with forrest run

ERROR

Unable to retrieve the org.apache.forrest.plugin.output.pdf plugin.
There may be more information about the reason for this in output
above. The usual cause is that Forrest has been unable to download
the plugin descriptor file that indicates where this plugin is
to be
downloaded from. If you are behind a firewall then set the
proxy.host
and proxy.port values in the forrest.properties file.
You may also like to check the value of the
forrest.plugins.descriptors property in the forrest.properties file
and ensure that the locations indicated by that value are accessible
(note there should be no spaces in this property).

1) I would like to know what is the settings i need to change for
environment variables
Environment variables are part of your Operating System not part of
Forrest. How you set them depends on your OS, see your OS documentation.
2) I would also be happy to have a sample forrest.properties file with
proxy editing. As many ppl i use proxy thru our organization's Intranet.
Help me to solve the issue.. Thanks in advance.
The clue is in the Error message:
"If you are behind a firewall then set the proxy.host
and proxy.port values in the forrest.properties file."
Look in your forrest.properties file the properties are in there and
commented:
# Proxy configuration
# proxy.host=
# proxy.port=
Just uncomment the two properties and set them accordingly for your
firewall.
