Do you have to use a proxy to connect to the internet via HTTP(S)? If yes, see [1] Additionally I assume that your company uses an internal root CA for outgoing SSL traffic, right? Java uses its own CA trust store (the file "cacerts" in the installation) and unfortunately doesn't use the ones built-in into Windows. The same applies to Firefox if you have it installed... To let Java applications connect to the outside world via SSL, save this certificate to a file on your hard disc and install it into your Java installation by entering the following command on a command line with administrative privileges: %> keytool -importcert -keystore cacerts -storepass changeit -alias <choose_alias_name> -file <your_certificate_file> ("changeit" is the default password for the keystore, btw.) Attention: If you install a JDK, you normally also have a JRE installed on your machine, and therefore you have the cacerts file twice on your machine: %JAVA_HOME%\jre\lib\security %JRE_HOME%\lib\security [1] http://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-proxies.html HTH Thorsten
