Or, perhaps more likely even, he is behind a proxy. Vikramm, are you behind a web proxy? If so, you should take a look at the following thread:
From: Francois Vandewalle <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [email protected] Date: May 30, 2006 7:51 AM Subject: Getting Started / Problem with plugin This is the 2nd email in the last couple of days with users new to Maven having troubles running archetype:create with a new Maven installation... Perhaps the Maven project can offer a distribution that includes the basic plugins (maven-xyz-plugins) in the download, so users can at least start using Maven without getting proxies configured, dealing with troubles at Central, etc in addition to the current minimal distribution? Or perhaps we can add some better error messages to direct new users that they might need to configure proxies, etc. Maybe come up with a series of error codes a-la Oracle which users can search for on the Maven site to come up with a webpage detailing the problem, possible causes and solutions, etc?
