Well, it didn't resolve my problem. I added a proxy to the /etc/maven2/settings.xml. When that didn't work, I did the same to ~/.m2/settings.xml. Maven does not seem to use the proxy.
At the beginning of the mvn-init section, it says: [artifact.dependencies] [WARNING] Overriding profile: 'maven-ant-tasks-repo-profile' (source: pom) with new instance from source: pom Could this be why maven isn't using the proxy? -Mark -----Original Message----- From: Jake Farrell [mailto:jfarr...@apache.org] Sent: Tuesday, January 24, 2012 9:40 AM To: user@thrift.apache.org Subject: Re: Error transferring file: Connection timed out [refused] Maven tries to auto download the dependencies if they are not available within your local repository, since maven did not know of your proxy it was unable to download them and failed. Adding the proxy config to your maven settings.xml should resolve your problem from the office (http://maven.apache.org/settings.html#Proxies) -Jake
