Maven Build Failure with “mvn install” command

Question

I was trying to generate and test my codes (if working) for Cucumber-Maven report then opened command prompt. I have tried "mvn clean", it was BUILD SUCCESS. After that, I have tried "mvn install" and encountered BUILD FAILURE (error was shown).

It looks like proxy issue which is blocking the downloads of dependencies, so make some changes in settings.xml or create a one if it is not there.

Goto c:\users\youruser\.m2\settings.xml.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<settings xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/SETTINGS/1.0.0" 
          xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" 
          xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/SETTINGS/1.0.0
                              http://maven.apache.org/xsd/settings-1.0.0.xsd">

 <proxies>
    <proxy>
      <id>myproxy</id>
      <active>true</active>
      <protocol>http</protocol>
      <username>user</username>  <!-- Put your username here -->
      <password>pass</password>  <!-- Put your password here -->
      <host>123.45.6.78</host>   <!-- Put the IP address of your proxy server here -->
      <port>80</port>            <!-- Put your proxy server's port number here -->
      <nonProxyHosts>maven</nonProxyHosts> <!-- Do not use this setting unless you know what you're doing. -->
    </proxy>    
  </proxies> 
</settings>

Answer 2

I tried using eclipse. I used maven clean and install for the same POM file. It is working fine.

Seems there is some issue with your C:\users\youruser\.m2\settings.xml file. May be proxy issues which is blocking maven from downloading dependencies. Please check your settings.xml file.
