Jenkins can not build with Maven. Might be proxy-issue - maven

Question

I'm trying to set-up a environment with Maven, Jenkins, SVN and Nexus.
I added Jobs to Jenkins via SVN, but Jenkins can not build these Jobs due to a Maven error.
Here is the error-log

If I build Jenkins with Maven via the command line, everything works. It downloads all dependencies from the Nexus. I also have to add a Proxy to Maven.
I downloaded the Config File Management Plug-In to add an own settings.xml for Maven:
<mirror>
<id>nexus</id>
<url>http://mynexusadress.com:6060/nexus/content/groups/public</url> <mirrorOf>central</mirrorOf>
The access to the proxy is configured in the Nexus config files.
(As said, using Maven locally works fine, it downloads all dependencies from the Nexus and uploads the build jar to it)

Answer 1

Ok, solved this problem, it is quite simple.
I just had to edit the settings.xml for Maven in my Jenkins-Directory. Thought this is done automatically.

Answer 2

I struggled with this for hours. For those who landed up on this page via a search engine:
Make sure maven settings.xml is for the user that runs jenkins. On Linux boxes a user "jenkins" runs the jenkins app so
sudo su - jenkins
cd ~/.m2
vi settings.xml
(Yes, vi. Real men use vi.)
And then modify as per standard procedures for adding proxy
<settings>
<proxies>
<proxy>
<id>example-proxy</id>
<active>true</active>
<protocol>http</protocol>
<host>proxy.example.com</host>
<port>8080</port>
<username>proxyuser</username>
<password>somepassword</password>
<nonProxyHosts>www.google.com|*.example.com</nonProxyHosts>
</proxy>
</proxies>
.
.
</settings>

Answer 3

You should configure proxy in Jenkins as described here.
