Nexus behind a proxy

Question

I'm trying to install Nexus (the repository manager for Maven) in a machine behind a proxy. When I execute the server it tries to connect to the default repositories (https://repository.apache.org:443, https://repo1.maven.org:443 and https://nexus.codehaus.org:443) but it fails with a "network is unreachable" message (because of the proxy, I assume).

I tried adding additional JVM parameters to the jsw/config/wrapper.conf file to configure the proxy but it doesn't seem to work:

wrapper.java.additional.4=-Dhttp.proxyHost=10.104.1.7
wrapper.java.additional.5=-Dhttp.proxyPort=8080
wrapper.java.additional.6=-Dhttps.proxyHost=10.104.1.7
wrapper.java.additional.7=-Dhttps.proxyPort=8080

Anyone know how I can get this to work?

Solution

There is a section in the Nexus Admin UI to configure proxy settings. It is located under Administration --> Server. See section 6.1.5 of the Nexus Documentation.
