title: Maven dependencies fail to download
body: <p>I am working in a corporate network.</p>
  
  <p>I can't download artifacts through maven, but I can download them individually through my web browser.</p>
  
  <p>This is the error:</p>
  
  <pre><code>[ERROR] Non-resolvable import POM: Could not transfer artifact com.fasterxml.jackson:jackson-bom:pom:2.9.8 from/to central (https://repo1.maven.org/maven2): Can't connect to SOCKS proxy:Connection refused: connect @ org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-dependencies:2.1.3.RELEASE, C:\Users\alfonso\.m2\repository\org\springframework\boot\spring-boot-dependencies\2.1.3.RELEASE\spring-boot-dependencies-2.1.3.RELEASE.pom, line 605, column 25
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>For what I have googled, a lot of people solve this configuring a proxy. I don't understand why I would need that, because as I said, I can download the dependencies trough my web browser.</p>
  
  <p>If configuring a proxy is the only way, any idea as to how to identify my company's proxy?? I've no idea what it is.
  Is it supposed to be a "maven proxy" or just a simple proxy? I ask because IT people probably don't know much about java and maven. So if I ask them what is our maven proxy, they may not know what I'm talking about (if it is something at all he he)</p>
