Maven, configuring an http proxy

Go to your user directory (ie. /home/babbas or /c/Users/babbas) then goto ".m2" directory and create a file named settings.xml. Inside that file copy the contents below:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<settings xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/SETTINGS/1.1.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/SETTINGS/1.1.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/settings-1.1.0.xsd">
