How to configure a proxy in Maven settings?

By Wayan Saryada in Maven, Tools 0 Comment

When we work behind a proxy server we need to configure Maven to be able to connect to the internet. To enable proxy we can configure Maven settings.xml file, either in ${M2_HOME}/conf/settings.xml or ${user.home}/.m2/settings.xml file.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<settings>
    .
    .
    <proxies>
        <proxy>
            <id>my-proxy</id>
            <active>true</active>
            <protocol>http</protocol>
            <host>proxy.example.org</host>
            <port>8080</port>
            <username>username</username>
            <password>password</password>
            <nonProxyHosts>*.example.org|*.example.com</nonProxyHosts>
        </proxy>
    </proxies>
    .
    .
</settings>

The <proxy> element in the configuration below contains the information about the proxy server. These include information about the host, port, username and password. Set these elements to match your proxy server configuration.
