we have this error as well in 7925.  its seems to be fine indexing the local repo, but it gives this error when trying to contact our Artifactory instance.  it seems to contact http://repo1.maven.org/maven2 just fine though.

This problem should have been fixed recently (in one of the 8.0 eaps). I've updated the bundled Wagon library that includes the bug fix. It shouldn't be necessary to change idea.properties files, the proxy settings are taken from Maven's settings.xml file.

Please let me know, if the problem still reccurs in the latest 8.0 eap.

Thanks,

Hi, Brain,

Probably your repository manager doesn't provide indexes.

What manager do you use?

Thanks,

Anton Makeev

Is your repository in public access? I could check it.

Thanks,

Hi, Brian,

You said that you have disabled proxy settings, do your repository is behind a proxy? If so, try the workaround Juan suggested:

"It seems that the Maven plugin code doesn't use the proxy settings of IntelliJ so tried setting the standard Java environment properties for HTTP proxy and it worked!

To do that edit the idea.exe.vmoptions (under IDEA_HOME/bin) and append the following (configure to suit your environment):

-Dhttp.proxyHost=myProxy.com

-Dhttp.proxyPort=80

-Dhttp.nonProxyHosts=myLocalServer"

If not could you attach your pom.xml that declares the repository and your setting.xml file?

Thanks,

Anton Makeev

I have exactly the same problem. My nexus repo is not accesible anonymously and all versions of intelliJ fail to retrieve the indexes. My settings.conf is ok (maven works fine) and manually specified. If I enable anonymous access the indexes are retrieved.

This is what I see in the logs:

I am still having the issue with latest IDEA version. We have a similar settings.xml. Is it resolved ?

Mathieu.

With latest 11 RC2 and latest nexus 2.0.2 the problem still exists
