title: Maven not working?
body: <p>Initially I used maven with proxy and it was working fine. Now I don't need the proxy, so I edited the settings.xml to not use proxy. After that, Maven does not connect to the Internet to download repos. I tried reinstalling, but still getting the same problem. I even tried IDEs like eclipse and IDEA but the problem was still there. How do I resolve this?</p>
