title: Access Denied Issue
body: <p>Trying to use Maven from the command line. Have setup the setting.xml proxy - </p>
  
  <pre><code>    &lt;proxy&gt; 
         &lt;id&gt;optional&lt;/id&gt;
         &lt;active&gt;true&lt;/active&gt;
         &lt;protocol&gt;http&lt;/protocol&gt;
         &lt;username&gt;&lt;/username&gt;
         &lt;password&gt;&lt;/password&gt;
         &lt;host&gt;access.lb.xxx.org&lt;/host&gt;
         &lt;port&gt;80&lt;/port&gt;
         &lt;nonProxyHosts&gt;local.net|some.host.com&lt;/nonProxyHosts&gt;
      &lt;/proxy&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>From cmd screen tried running the command - mvn archetype:generate -X</p>
  
  <p>Getting errors like - </p>
  
  <pre><code>    ...
      Caused by: org.sonatype.aether.transfer.ArtifactTransferException: 
      Could not transfer artifact org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-release-plugin:pom:2.0

  <p>Can't figure out if the proxy setting is correct? Is there a workaround to go pass the proxy? Or any other way to get me going to create a simple maven project at the least?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
