解决eclipse安装maven的问题:Unable to update index for central|http://repo1.maven.org/maven2

copy一个settings.xml到C:/Documents and Settings/username/.m2目录，并修改settings.xml文件，添加一个http代理:

<proxies> <!-- proxy | Specification for one proxy, to be used in connecting to the network. | <proxy> <id>optional</id> <active>true</active> <protocol>http</protocol> <username>proxyuser</username> <password>proxypass</password> <host>proxy.host.net</host> <port>80</port> <nonProxyHosts>local.net|some.host.com</nonProxyHosts> </proxy> --> <proxy> <id>optional</id> <active>true</active> <protocol>http</protocol> <host>www.yourproxy.com</host> <port>8080</port> </proxy> </proxies>

然后，重启就可以了。
