I am using Avast Internet Security 2016 in windows 7 OS and trying to use apache-maven-3.3.9-bin. Avast is handling firewall settings and maven needs to configure/disbale firewall settings so that maven can download required plugins.

I came to know that one of its solution is to configure maven settings.xml

But I want to know how to configure avast to allow maven to download required things.

What I tried:

  • From the main Avast window went to Firewall section.
  • Next, Clicked on "Application Rules".
  • Selected "New Group" and named it as Maven.
  • Now clicked on "New Application Rule", selected Maven and added mvn and mvn.cmd files from the apache-maven-3.3.9/bin folder.

Partially solved:

  • Open avast firewall setting and turn it off.
  • Now use maven and it will download the required dependencies.
  • Turn on firewall from avast settings when maven downloading is finished.
  • Because dependencies are downloaded you will not have any problem with maven.

If someone have better solution please share. Thanks in advance..
