Issue
Maven Error
I tried doing the tutorials for the correct installation of Maven, but whenever I try to run the command "mvn archetype: generate" gives me always this error. Have you tried running in cmd and netbeans and error is the same. I have searched but I only appear problems or proxy or directories.

Solution
The problem is due to proxy settings, try and edit the proxy configurations at:
settings.xml file on your system (if you're running maven on the command line)
settings.xml on your ide (if you're running maven through it)
