title: Maven plugin not using Eclipse's proxy settings
body: <p>I am using springsource tool suite 2.7.2, based on Eclipse 3.7. The Maven plugin comes now out of the box with Eclipse which is great, and this problem occurred even with previous version of Eclipse.</p>
  <p>So here is my issue:</p>
  <p>I have set the proxy information in my <code>settings.xml</code> file, and on the command line Maven works just fine. I have also set the same proxy details in the Eclipse configuration itself, and I know that it is correct as well as the updates work with it and not without.</p>
  <p>Of course, the Maven plugin in my Eclipse installation is set to use the proper <code>settings.xml</code> file.</p>
  <p>But maven from within eclipse just doesn't use the proxy settings from either of those places, which is very annoying every time I change the pom file.
  Does anyone have a solution for this issue ?</p>
  <h3>settings.xml</h3>
  <p>Here is my settings.xml file:</p>
  <pre class="lang-xml prettyprint-override"><code>&lt;?xml version=&quot;1.0&quot; encoding=&quot;UTF-8&quot;?&gt;
    &lt;settings xmlns=&quot;http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0&quot; xmlns:xsi=&quot;http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance&quot; xsi:schemaLocation=&quot;http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/settings-1.0.0.xsd&quot;&gt;

          &lt;repository&gt;
            &lt;snapshots&gt;&lt;enabled&gt;false&lt;/enabled&gt;&lt;/snapshots&gt;
