How to set up maven? - maven

Question

How to set up Maven (settings.xml) and Artifactory to access all repositories through Artifactory?
My current settings are as follows and I even fail to get the Maven-deploy plugin
to execute. The error is that it was not found in any repos (local + artifactory)

[host]:[port] are real in file and so is [username][password] checked that 3 times.
[ERROR] No plugin found for prefix 'deploy' in the current project and in the plugin groups [org.apache.maven.plugins, org.codehaus.mojo] available from the repositories [local (C:\Users\[username]\.m2), repo (http://[host]:[port]/artifactory/repo)] -> [Help 1]

Artifactory can generate the right settings.xml file for you. Look for Maven Settings link on the right side menu of the home screen.
