Gradle

Create gradle.properties file at user home directory (~/<user>/.gradle on Linux based system and C:\Users\<user>\.gradle on Windows 8+), or in your project root folder to configure internet proxy. Then, add the following lines in it.


systemProp.http.proxyHost=<proxy host or ip e.g. proxy.xyz.com>
systemProp.http.proxyPort=<port e.g. 80>
systemProp.http.nonProxyHosts=*.xyz.com|localhost
systemProp.https.proxyHost=<proxy host or ip e.g. proxy.xyz.com>
systemProp.https.proxyPort=<port e.g. 80>
systemProp.https.nonProxyHosts=*.xyz.com|localhost



Maven

You can configure proxy in maven in settings.xml file. This file could be available at following locations based on type of maven installation you are using.

  • Maven Home: <MAVEN_HOME>/conf/settings.xml> 
  • Maven Repo: <OS_USER_HOME>/.m2/settings.xml
  • Netbeans: <NETBEANS_HOME>/java/maven/conf/settings.xml
  • IntelliJ: Goto File -> Settings -> Build, Execution, Deployments -> Build Tools -> Maven. Here, you could set or check the path of settings.xml in User settings file input box. If you don't want to make any change in settings.xml. IntelliJ gives you option to add proxy in "importing" option page under Maven. You can add -DproxySet=true -DproxyHost=myproxy.com -DproxyPort=80 in "VM options for importer" in Maven "importing" settings dialog.
and add following lines in settings.xml for configuring proxy under <settings> parent tag:


<settings>
	<proxies>
		<proxy>
			<id>http</id>
			<active>false</active>
			<protocol>http</protocol>
			<host>proxy.xyz.com</host>
			<port>80</port>
		</proxy>
		<proxy>
			<id>https</id>
			<active>false</active>
			<protocol>https</protocol>
			<host>proxy.xyz.com</host>
			<port>80</port>
		</proxy>		
	</proxies>

        <!-- other configuration -->

</settings>
