Thanks for the reply. I didnt hve a settings.xml in .m2 directory so i copied
the settings.xml from apache-maven-2.0.9\conf and pasted it into .m2
directory and changed the proxy settings a little according the link which u
gave to me. So the proxy part in settings.xml looks like this. I tried to
create the first project again but still doesnt work. Would apprecaite for
ur help.
<proxies>
<!-- proxy

<proxy>
<id>optional</id>
<active>true</active>
<protocol>http</protocol>
<host>http-proxy.zx.basf-ag.de</host>
<port>8080</port>
</proxy>
