Hi, apologies if this question has been posted before. I have both maven 1.0.2 and maven 2.0 installed at the same computer at my office behind a corporate firewall. I have configured my maven 1.0.2 to handle the proxy, and I'm able to get it to download needed jar files without any problems. However, when I'm trying to get Maven2 to do the same thing it gives me the "[WARNING] repository metadata for: 'artifact org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-archetype-plugin' could not be retrieved from repository: central due to an error: Error transferring file" error, which I interpret as it can't get through the firewall.
For maven 1.0.2 my build.properties in the {user.home} looks like this: maven.proxy.host=my.proxyhost.domain maven.proxy.port=8080 maven.proxy.username=scott maven.proxy.password=tiger For Maven2, in my {user.home}.m2 directory I have created a settings.xml with this content: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <settings> <proxies> <proxy> <active>true</active> <protocol>http</protocol> <host>my.proxyhost.domain</host> <port>8080</port> <username>scott</username> <password>tiger</password> </proxy> </proxies> </settings> Any clues or workarounds?
