title: ERROR creating Maven project in Eclipse due to Proxy/Intranet restriction
body: <p>Has anyone experienced this before where you're working in an intranet-connected environment where some sites are restricted.
  Where do I add the proxy settings, in Eclipse?</p>
  
  <p>Here?</p>

  <p>or Here?

  <pre><code>&lt;!-- proxies
  | This is a list of proxies which can be used on this machine to connect to the network.
  | Unless otherwise specified (by system property or command-line switch), the first proxy
  | specification in this list marked as active will be used.

  &lt;proxies&gt;
      &lt;!-- proxy
       | Specification for one proxy, to be used in connecting to the network.

      &lt;proxy&gt;
          &lt;id&gt;optional&lt;/id&gt;
          &lt;active&gt;true&lt;/active&gt;
          &lt;protocol&gt;http&lt;/protocol&gt;
          &lt;username&gt;proxyuser&lt;/&lt;/username&gt;
          &lt;password&gt;proxypass&lt;/password&gt;
          &lt;host&gt;proxy.host.net&lt;/host&gt;
          &lt;port&gt;80&lt;/port&gt;
          &lt;nonProxyHosts&gt;local.net|some.host.com&lt;/nonProxyHosts&gt;
      &lt;/proxy&gt;
      --&gt;
  &lt;/proxies&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p></p>
  
  <p>I cant use pom.xml to download maven dependencies because Eclipse/Maven can't seem to download the necessary files which Im suspecting is due to intranet proxy settings.</p>
