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

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?
