Answer

The answer above is a good working solution, but here's how to do it if you want to use the SSL repo:

Use a browser (I used IE) to go to https://repo.maven.apache.org/
- Click on lock icon and choose "View Certificate"
- Go to the "Details" tab and choose "Save to File"
- Choose type "Base 64 X.509 (.CER)" and save it somewhere
Now open a command prompt and type (use your own paths):

keytool -import -file C:\temp\mavenCert.cer -keystore C:\temp\mavenKeystore
Now you can run the command again with the parameter

-Djavax.net.ssl.trustStore=C:\temp\mavenKeystore
Under linux use absolute path

-Djavax.net.ssl.trustStore=/tmp/mavenKeystore

otherwise this will happen
Like this:

mvn archetype:generate -DgroupId=com.mycompany.app -DartifactId=my-app -DarchetypeArtifactId=maven-archetype-quickstart -DinteractiveMode=false -Djavax.net.ssl.trustStore=C:\temp\mavenKeystore

Optional:

You can use the MAVEN_OPTS environment variable so you don't have to worry about it again. See more info on the MAVEN_OPTS variable here:

Question 2

I just downloaded Maven and was trying to run the simple command found on the "Maven in Five Minutes" page (http://maven.apache.org/guides/getting-started/maven-in-five-minutes.html). This is the command:

mvn archetype:generate -DgroupId=com.mycompany.app -DartifactId=my-app -DarchetypeArtifactId=maven-archetype-quickstart -DinteractiveMode=false

When I run it I get an error with SSL certificate and cannot download from the central Maven repository at https://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2. The error is "SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target".

I am sitting behind a corporate firewall and have correctly configured the proxy settings for both http and https access via the settings.xml file. I doubt that everyone who downloads Maven and runs it for the first time has to import the SSL certificate of the Maven repository, so the problem must be with the proxy. Does anyone have any experience with this?

Here's the stack trace in full debug mode (-X):

 mvn archetype:generate -DgroupId=com.mycompany.app -DartifactId=my-app -DarchetypeArtifactId=maven-archetype-quickstart -DinteractiveMode=false
