Eclipse Plugin behind Proxy

Vaadin 6 / 7 / 8
1

Hello,

I recently installed the vaadin eclipse plugin version 4.0.0.final from the marketplace.
Right now I’m unable to create a new project. When I try, I get the following message:

Could not resolve archetype com.vaadin:vaadin-archetype-application:8.0.5 from any of the configured repositories. Could not resolve artifact com.vaadin:vaadin-archetype-application:pom:8.0.5 Failure to transfer com.vaadin:vaadin-archetype-application:pom:8.0.5 from https://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2 was cached in the local repository, resolution will not be reattempted until the update interval of central has elapsed or updates are forced. Original error: Could not transfer artifact com.vaadin:vaadin-archetype-application:pom:8.0.5 from/to central (https://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2): Connection refused: connect Failure to transfer com.vaadin:vaadin-archetype-application:pom:8.0.5 from https://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2 was cached in the local repository, resolution will not be reattempted until the update interval of central has elapsed or updates are forced. Original error: Could not transfer artifact com.vaadin:vaadin-archetype-application:pom:8.0.5 from/to central (https://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2): Connection refused: connect I am behind a proxy. Eclipse itself works fine with that because the proxy is properly configured in eclipse. So It seems that the Vaadin plugin does not use the eclipse settings to connect to the internet. Is this the case? And if yes, what is the workaround?

Thanks in advance,
Emmanuel

I had this issue too

The only work around I found was to use Maven, the plugin stopped working for me a long time ago because of the proxy.


https://maven.apache.org/download.cgi

Download, and unzip somewhere, for example, I’ll unzip it in C:\Maven
Use (Start > run > cmd) Command line and move to the Maven folder you unzipped.

cd c:\Maven\bin\ They will have the maven code to get started:
https://vaadin.com/framework/get-started

I usually only use this part.

mvn -B archetype:generate -DarchetypeGroupId=com.vaadin -DarchetypeArtifactId=vaadin-archetype-application -DarchetypeVersion=8.0.5 -DgroupId=com.PACKAGE.WHATEVER -DartifactId=PROJECTNAMEHERE -Dversion=1.0-SNAPSHOT after you paste this in and change whatever you need, it will generate a folder in this directory, usually:

C:\Maven\bin\PROJECTNAMEHERE

In Eclipse, go to File > Import > Maven > Existing Maven Projects
and open C:\Maven\bin\PROJECTNAMEHERE

and it will create a default vaadin project.
