Maven behind a proxy

logoI am a beginner in Maven's world. So, when I tried to create my first Maven project using Eclipse, and I got back this error message:

Could not resolve archetype org.apache.maven.archetypes:maven-archetype-quickstart:RELEASE from any of the configured repositories.
Could not resolve artifact org.apache.maven.archetypes:maven-archetype-quickstart:pom:RELEASE
Failed to resolve version for org.apache.maven.archetypes:maven-archetype-quickstart:pom:RELEASE: Could not find metadata org.apache.maven.archetypes:maven-archetype-quickstart/maven-metadata.xml in local (/home/<myUsername>/.m2/repository)
Failed to resolve version for org.apache.maven.archetypes:maven-archetype-quickstart:pom:RELEASE: Could not find metadata org.apache.maven.archetypes:maven-archetype-quickstart/maven-metadata.xml in local (/home/<myUsername>/.m2/repository)

I was almost lost Frown.

After having stopped crying, I decided to look for information about using Maven behind a proxy, as this is my configuration. Bingo! After having created file settings.xml in folder ~/.m2, with following contents, as presented here:

<settings>
<proxies> <proxy> <active>true</active> <protocol>http</protocol> <host>putHereProxyAddress</host> <port>putHereProxyPort</port> <nonProxyHosts>putHereHostsAccessedWithoutProxy</nonProxyHosts> </proxy> </proxies> </settings>

it worked perfectly.
