I was just going through some proxy issues. I never had anything 'unable to find line starting with "HTTP"' problems. Try supplying the proxy info on the command line:
maven -Dmaven.proxy.host = myProxyHostIpAddress I also updated to the newest jdk and added two additional properties to build.properties because I am behind a NTLM proxy maven.proxy.ntlm.host=proxy1 maven.proxy.ntlm.domain=DOMAIN Good luck :) -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, July 21, 2004 10:46 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Newbie question: maven and proxies - unable to find line starting with "HTTP" Hi, I'm quite new to maven, so please forgive any stupid questions. I'm trying to build a project that's based on maven (AndroMDA, see team.andromda.org). I'm using win xp and I'm sitting behind a firewall, so I added this to my %USERPROFILE%\build.properties: maven.proxy.host = myProxyHostIpAddress maven.proxy.port = 8080 maven.proxy.username = myUsername maven.proxy.password = myPassword this should enable the usage of our proxy, right? But unfortunately I still get this error messages when I start maven for my project: ###snipp### D:\Projekte\mdd\andromda\andromda-src-3.0M2-SNAPSHOT > maven __ __ | \/ |__ _Apache__ ___ | |\/| / _` \ V / -_) ' \ ~ intelligent projects ~ |_| |_\__,_|\_/\___|_||_| v. 1.0 Plugin cache will be regenerated Directory C:\java\.maven\repository does not exist.
