Non-resolvable parent POM

[Dhivya Krishnan]

Hi All,

Need your help in resolving maven issues.

I have made all the basic set up for cTakes project(which is a freeware). I tried to run the parent pom I get this error both from command line and from eclipse.

Please help me resolve this.

Are you behind a proxy? If yes, try setting it up:

A sample of your settings.xml from Maven looks like this:

<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
                      http://maven.apache.org/xsd/settings-1.0.0.xsd">
  <proxies>
    <proxy>
      <active>true</active>
      <protocol>http</protocol>
      <host>PROXY</host>
      <port>3120</port>
      <nonProxyHosts>maven</nonProxyHosts>
    </proxy>
  </proxies>
</settings>

It's a DNS problem. The error message "Unknown host repo.maven.apache.org" clearly says it. Maybe a firewall is blocking outgoing DNS requests or your general network setup is wrong.

This is the proxy settings I have put in settings.xml inside m2 folder and the settings.xml in maven/conf/settings.xml

<proxies>
<proxy>
<id>optional</id>
<active>true</active>
<protocol>http</protocol>
<host>proxy.xxx.com</host>
<port>8080</port>
<username>username</username>
<password>pwd</password>
<nonProxyHosts>www.google.com|*.example.com</nonProxyHosts>
</proxy>
</proxies>

The required repositories are available in local m2 repository. I have got it from someone here. But why is it trying to search in central repository when it is available in local repository.
