  <p>I've added proxy details to my settings.xml (got it from my browser) with/without username password</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;proxies&gt;
    &lt;proxy&gt;
      &lt;id&gt;462603&lt;/id&gt;
      &lt;active&gt;true&lt;/active&gt;
      &lt;protocol&gt;http&lt;/protocol&gt;
      &lt;username&gt;com\462603&lt;/username&gt;
      &lt;password&gt;xxxxxxxx&lt;/password&gt;
      &lt;host&gt;proxy.company.com&lt;/host&gt;
      &lt;port&gt;6050&lt;/port&gt;
      &lt;nonProxyHosts&gt;10.*|*.company.com&lt;/nonProxyHosts&gt;
    &lt;/proxy&gt;
  &lt;/proxies&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I listed this settings.xml in Eclipse->Windows->Preferences->Maven->User Settings</p>
  
  <p>Also added the archtype <a href="http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/archetype-catalog.xml" rel="nofollow">http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/archetype-catalog.xml</a> in Eclipse->Windows->Preferences->Maven->Archtype</p>
  
  <p>Apart from all this the error still persists</p>
  
  <p>I am aware there are many such duplicate question, but the solutions mentioned in all of it didn't work </p>
