I did what you did and the result is still the same. The difference is that my corporate proxy server requires authentication, so I also have the following properties in the project.properties file: maven.proxy.username maven.proxy.password
I wrote a small program to test the HTTP connection (using HttpUtils.java as an example), and when I tried to access website like "http://www.yahoo.com/";, it gives a HTTP response code 407 (Proxy Authentication needed). Do I need to do something to configure the JVM to allow proxy authentication?

Try putting the proxy settings in your project.properties, and seeing if that helps. It may be that Maven is looking in the wrong place for your build.properties. I have settings like: maven.proxy.host=proxy1.foo.bar.com maven.proxy.port=3128 At the head of my project.properties, and that gets me through the firewall. Hope that helps.
