I'm planning to create a java maven web project. I would like to know whether I have to install Maven in windows or install maven in eclipse? I'm using windows 10 and eclipse oxygen. My network has some restrictions so I would be adding a proxy in settings.xml. I have already tried creating a maven project in eclipse with maven embedded in my eclipse, but it was giving multiple errors during jars download. Please suggest me on which way I should proceed and which way is better, whether I should use maven in eclipse or install in windows and use?

1Better to download the standards Version of Eclipse like Eclipse Kepler please refer https://stackoverflow.com/questions/8620127/maven-in-eclipse-step-by-step-installation – Lova Chittumuri May 20 '19 at 08:37

Usually, you use the embedded Maven in Eclipse, which is part of a standard modern Eclipse installation.
If you get errors with jar downloads, this is probably an issue with your network. Whether putting a proxy in the settings.xml is enough to remedy the problem depends on you actual network.
To find out the exact network restrictions, talk to your admin.

I think you should just try use a different network to create your maven project (for example you can use tethering or ask for permission to get around those network restrictions). After that you should be able to use your maven project even offline. An alternative would be to just download a maven project and change it to your own.

So, you suggest me to install maven in os rather than using maven in eclipse – Ajith May 20 '19 at 09:51

1No, I suggest to use the maven in eclipse, just on a different network – LiefLayer May 20 '19 at 09:59

You can try installing maven:
- Go to maven's website to install/configure maven for your os
- Set Maven's
settings.xml - Configure Maven in your eclipse, choose the installed maven rather than embedded
If your have any errors, please post them here.

1@Ajith if you use embedded maven in eclipse and there is error, please post the detail error such that someone can help you. Or you can try another approach - install maven in os to see if there is error. – frank May 21 '19 at 01:04
