Answer 1

As per maven documentation we have to add some settings.xml with setting in it mentioned here Guide to proxies .

<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>

Another way to do download dependencies quickly is as follows

mvn clean install -DproxySet=true -DproxyHost=myproxy.com -DproxyPort=YourPort 

the second one works fine for me. Hope atleast one of above solution will work for you hoping your network doesn't have any blocked servers from maven repo.
