Setting proxy for maven on remote host

[Soumya_Simanta]

I’m trying to run a task using maven. However, my machine is behind a proxy and therefore I need to set it before executing my mvn command.
I tried setting the proxy values in environment but it doesn’t work. Any idea how to resolve this ?

Thanks

Here is my task snippet.

• name: mvn | build the myproject
  shell: mvn clean package -DskipTests chdir=/home/ubuntu/myproject
  environment:
  http_proxy: http://myproxy:8080
  https_proxy: https://proxy.sei.cmu.edu:8080

I don’t think maven respects the http_proxy* environment vars, but needs specific configuration.
