Maven - how to set socks proxy via settings.xml

Question

I wonder how I could set a SOCKS proxy for maven via the ~/.m2/settings.xml? Yes, I know there is a recipe to do this via MAVEN_OPTS environment variable. But I would like to set this in the settings.xml within the <proxies> section. Which kind of protocol should I use? I already tried

• socks
• socks5
• SOCKS_5
• SOCKSv5
