Thread: Maven Issues - mvn install

Now I'm not sure if this is the correct forum to post this on but I couldn't find any forum which seemed to specialise in build tools. If this is not the correct forum, please feel free to move to a more appropriate place.

I'm new to Maven and am having an issue when trying to use the 'mvn install' command on a project. The output I'm getting is:

I know that I'm sitting behind proxy but (I think) I have added the correct <proxy> credentials in my settings.xml file.

Could the error message I'm getting be down to the fact that my proxy is not actually setup correctly? Is there anyway I can test this?

Thanks for your help in advance.

Yes Id say you are getting this error because maven cant download an artifact you need.

So do you think its because I haven't got my <proxy> setup in my settings.xml file? It currently looks something similar to:

<proxy>
      <id>optional</id>
      <active>true</active>
      <protocol>http</protocol>
      <username>MyUsername</username>
      <password>MyPassword</password>
      <host>MyHost</host>
      <port>80</port>
      <nonProxyHosts>MyHost2</nonProxyHosts>
    </proxy>

(with the username, password, etc replaced with their correct values). Does this look correct? Is there anyway I can test to confirm that it is definately the proxy causing the issue?

What version of Maven are you using?

// Json

Version 2.0.10.

If your proxy username is on a domain you will need to have the domain in the username box as well.

<username>MyDomain/MyUsername</username>
