Install SDK 2.3.5 on Virtualbox VM with proxy

[Dave-B]

I'm trying to build a dev enviroment in a Virtualbox VM, using Ubuntu 12.04

$ lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID:    Ubuntu
Description:    Ubuntu 12.04.4 LTS
Release:    12.04
Codename:    precise

I've installed the HP VAN 2.3.5 controller, JDK 1.6 and maven 3.0.4

$ lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID:    Ubuntu
Description:    Ubuntu 12.04.4 LTS
Release:    12.04
Codename:    precise

Based on a number of on-line tutorilas, I have set my proxy info in settings, and in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/80proxy.

$ sudo pico /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/80proxy
Acquire::http::proxy "http://myproxy.xxx.co.uk:8080/";
Acquire::ftp::proxy "ftp:// http://myproxy.xxx.co.uk:8080/";
Acquire::https::proxy "https://http://myproxy.xxx.co.uk:8080/";

I also copied the setting.xml to ~.m2/ and edited the proxy settings

    <proxy>
      <id>optional</id>
      <active>true</active>
      <protocol>http</protocol>
      <username>proxyuser</username>
      <password>proxypass</password>
      <host>http://myproxy.xxx.co.uk</host>
      <port>8080</port>
      <nonProxyHosts>local.net|some.host.com</nonProxyHosts>
    </proxy>

Also

$ chown -R username.username /home/username/.m2/
$ chmod -R 0777 /home/username/.m2/

However when I run the install-sdk command from the HP SDK folder it times out.

~/hp-sdn-sdk-2.3.5$ bin/install-sdk

I also setup socksify using dante-client, this made no difference.

~/hp-sdn-sdk-2.3.5$ socksify bin/install-sdk

If I use wget, e.g.

$ wget http://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2/org/apache/maven/plugins/maven-install-plugin/2.3/maven-install-plugin-2.3.pom

The proxy is resolved and downloads the .pom file.

Does anyone know the fix for this problem?

Thanks in advance. Dave.

Hi Dave

Two items

1. You are using Java 1.6 and should use 1.7

2. Here is my settings.xml and I know it works you should be able to adept it;)

<settings>
  <proxies>
   <proxy>
      <active>true</active>
      <protocol>http</protocol>
      <host>web-proxy.company.com</host>
      <port>8888</port>
    </proxy>
  </proxies>
</settings>

On a side note your wait might for the duration fix might be over in the near future.

Kind Regards

Gerhard,

Thansk for the reply.

The problem was extreme stupidity on my part.

I had edited the proxy host name in .m2/settings.xml, but I had not uncommented the sectionat the start and end of the proxy settings.

e.g.

https://developer.atlassian.com/display/DOCS/Explore+the+Installed+SDK+and+the+atlas+Commands

My only excuse is that I don't use xml very often.

Thanks,

Dave.
