Question

I am looking for a way to set system proxy settings in settings.xml. If the proxy server does not need authentication, can I leave the username and password tag blank ? How can I achieve this ?

I can not find any documents from maven on this : http://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-proxies.html

There is a same scenario in my team. Following are our settings. Just don’t include those tag in your settings.xml

<proxies>
<proxy>
  <active>true</active>
  <protocol>http</protocol>
  <port><port-number></port>
  <host><your-prox-server></host>
</proxy>
</proxies>
