I have recenlty installed MyEclipse 8.5, before this I had MyEclipse 6.1
The error below is now showing up when my Eclipse application is open

Quote:

4/10 5:09:08 PM EDT: Unable to update index for central|http://repo1.maven.org/maven2 4/4/10 5:09:03 PM EDT: Updating index central|http://repo1.maven.org/maven2 4/4/10 5:09:06 PM EDT: Unable to download Repository[d9d714e11cb097b3ffcec91cccc65d3e|http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/.index]/nexus-maven-repository-index.properties: java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused: no further information

I know this has been addressed before in a broader sense.
But my issue is al ittle different.

When I connect to my work from home, the VPN connection does not allow public internet connection.
Therefore, I only get this error when working from home.
When I am on-site at work, where public internet connection is allowed, I have no problem.

Is there a way disable to this?
When I had MyEclilse 6.1, I had no issue.

I wished there was a way to uncheck Enable Maven4MyEclipse feature.
Mine is checked and grayed out, so I cannot uncheck it.

Hi tennisbum79,

Can you give me some more information on this issue to resolve quickly?
You said that it is greyed out,
1) Are you able to check or uncheck "Windows-->Preferences-->MyEclipse-->Maven4MyEclipse"?
2) Can you send a screen shot of the preference wizard when expanded Maven4MyEclipse? You can send the attachment to chakri@genuitec.com or PM me. Please mention post subject in the subject line and post url in the body.

Thanks,
Chakri.

HI Chakri.

As I wrote in my previous message, I am able to disable Maven by performing
Windows-->Preference-->MyEclipse-->Maven4MyEclipse-->Maven
Check Offline.


I will send send you the screenshot to your email.

Hi tennisbum79,

I have escalated this to the dev team member, they will get back to you on this.

Thanks,
Chakri.

While downloading/connecting to internet for updating indexes for Maven, Eclipse reads settings.xml located under.m2 directory which is located by default under C:\Users\<your name>\.m2\settings.xml. By default settings.xml has proxy settings. In case you are using a direct net connection, means you are not behind any proxy, just comment it out. It would look like
<settings>
<!--
<proxies>
<proxy>
<active>true</active>
<protocol>http</protocol>
<host>10.152.110.10</host>
<port>80</port>
<username></username>
<password></password>
</proxy>
</proxies>-->
</settings>
it should work then. it worked for me.
Wish u luck.
