解决eclipse安装maven的问题:Unable to update index for central|http://repo1.maven.org/maven2

修改安装apache-maven文件夹settings.xml文件内容，添加一个http代理代码如下:

<proxies>  
  <!-- proxy  
   | Specification for one proxy, to be used in connecting to the network.  
   |  
  <proxy>  
    <id>optional</id>  
    <active>true</active>  
    <protocol>http</protocol>  
    <username>proxyuser</username>  
    <password>proxypass</password>  
    <host>proxy.host.net</host>  
    <port>80</port>  
    <nonProxyHosts>local.net|some.host.com</nonProxyHosts>  
  </proxy>  
  -->  
  <proxy>  
    <id>optional</id>  
    <active>true</active>  
    <protocol>http</protocol>  
    <host>www.yourproxy.com</host>  
    <port>8080</port>  
  </proxy>  
</proxies>  

然后，重启myeclipse就可以解决问题。
