How to configure MAVEN?

maven-2

Solution

If you are behind a proxy, you need to configure Maven to use this proxy. To do so, edit or create the file `${user.home}/.m2/settings.xml` and add the following snippet to it:

<settings>
  .
  .
  <proxies>
   <proxy>
      <active>true</active>
      <protocol>http</protocol>
      <host>proxy.somewhere.com</host>
      <port>8080</port>
      <username>proxyuser</username>
      <password>somepassword</password>
      <nonProxyHosts>www.google.com|*.somewhere.com</nonProxyHosts>
    </proxy>
  </proxies>
  .
  .
</settings>
