Maven not downloading jars behind proxy

Question

Maven is unable to download jar (s) (Dependency) behind proxy.

Here is my pom.xml

</project>

Here is my settings.xml at path C:\Users\faizanmubasher\.m2\settings.xml. I have added proxies in it.

<settings xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/SETTINGS/1.0.0"
  xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
  xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/SETTINGS/1.0.0
                      https://maven.apache.org/xsd/settings-1.0.0.xsd">
 <proxies>
  <proxy>
    <id>skm--http-proxy</id>
    <active>true</active>
    <protocol>http</protocol>
    <host>my.proxy.ip.here</host>
    <port>8080</port>
    <username>faizanmubasher</username>
    <password>*****</password>
  </proxy>
  <proxy>
    <id>skm--https-proxy</id>
    <active>true</active>
    <protocol>https</protocol>
    <host>my.proxy.ip.here</host>
    <port>8080</port>
    <username>faizanmubasher</username>
    <password>*****</password>
  </proxy>
 </proxies>
</settings>

Username and password are correct.

Is it due to my office's proxy that is not allowing to download jar or is it some Maven settings that I need to configure?

I am facing this error on STS IDE.

The container 'Maven Dependencies' references non existing library 'C:\Users\faizanmubasher\.m2\repository\org\springframework\boot\spring-boot-autoconfigure\2.0.2.RELEASE\spring-boot-autoconfigure-2.0.2.RELEASE.jar'    FirstBootApp        Build path  Build Path Problem

My Maven version is Apache Maven 3.5.3.

EDIT

The command set MAVEN_OPTS="-DhttpProxyHost=xxx.xx.xx.xx -DsocksProxyPort=8080" doesn't work as well.

couple of things. in your proxy setting, are you sure it is https? secondly. Instead of changing in .m2/setting.xml try changing it in settings.xml under /etc/maven or whereever maven is installed — pvpkiran, Jun 20 '18 at 08:17
are you sure `C:\Users\faizanmubasher\.m2\settings.xml` path. execute `mvn -version` + check in apache-maven-3.5.0\conf\settings.xml check your `M2_HOME` + your `MAVEN_HOME` — Stéphane GRILLON, Jun 20 '18 at 10:01
can you curl your proxy with the provided data? thats my first default check... — U.V., Jan 22 '19 at 15:24

Try this, if 1 does not work try 2, then 3:

1) First update the project, Alt-F5

2) Then go to your repo and blow away the directory for that dependency which should be in the directory C:\Users\faizanmubasher.m2\repository\org\springframework\boot\spring-boot-autoconfigure\2.0.2.RELEASE Then do an Alt-F5 again.

3) If this fails try a mvn clean install -U from the command line.

You can test your maven to maven central repo connectivity with the following command:

mvn archetype:generate

You should see over 2000 archetypes returned

None of above is working. Running `mvn clean install -U` results **Not authorized by proxy , ReasonPhrase:Proxy Authorization Required**. – Faizan Mubasher Jun 20 '18 at 10:45
There is your answer, you have not set your proxy correctly. – Essex Boy Jun 20 '18 at 10:46
I have triple checked my proxy settings but all in vain. It seems I have to ask my Network manager to authorize me to download jar files. – Faizan Mubasher Jun 20 '18 at 11:17

I have encountered the same problem.
And I turned back to older versions of maven which is 3.1.0.
I was trying to use a http proxy to get reached to maven https repository.

Here, there is a issue for newer versions in maven's jira.
