Add the path to the Maven bin directory to the system PATH environment variable. For example: add c:\maven\2.2.1\bin to the PATH environment variable.Download the serverTrustStore.jks and save it to a new folder (i.e. c:\keystores).
To download Maven artifacts from the remote MIT maven repository (https://maven.mit.edu^{Image Removed}), an SSL connection is required. For Maven to acquire an SSL connection, you must create a system environment variable MAVEN_OPTS and set it as below:
Code Block
MAVEN_OPTS=-Djavax.net.ssl.trustStore=/path/to/serverTrustStore.jks -Djavax.net.ssl.trustStorePassword="XXXXXXXX" -Xmx512m -Xms512m -XX:MaxPermSize=512m

Download the serverTrustStore.jks and save it to a new folder (e.g. c:\keystores).
To download Maven artifacts from the remote MIT maven repository (https://maven.mit.edu), an SSL connection is required. For Maven to acquire an SSL connection, you must create a system environment variable MAVEN_OPTS and set it as below:

For Mac users: You must set the environmental variable _JAVA_OPTIONS as shown below.

Code Block
_JAVA_OPTIONS=-Djavax.net.ssl.trustStore=/path/to/serverTrustStore.jks -Djavax.net.ssl.trustStorePassword="XXXXXXXX" -Xmx512m -Xms512m -XX:MaxPermSize=512m

For Windows users: You must set the environmental variable MAVEN_OPTS as shown below.
Code Block
MAVEN_OPTS=-Djavax.net.ssl.trustStore=/path/to/serverTrustStore.jks -Djavax.net.ssl.trustStorePassword="XXXXXXXX" -Xmx512m -Xms512m -XX:MaxPermSize=512m
In the above, replace the /path/to with the actual path to the serverTrustStore.jks and replace XXXXXXXX with the actual serverTrustStore.jks password.  If you don't know the serverTrustStore.jks password, your team leader can get it for you.

For MAC users:  You can now download a nice plugin that helps you manage your system environmental variables.  The plugin, RCEnvironment, is a preference pane for MacOS X 10.1 or higher that allows editing of your ~/.MacOSX/environment.plist file.
For Window users:  Go to Start > Control Panel > System > Advanced system settings > Environment Variables... and under System variables, click New and enter the MAVEN_OPTS shown above.
