Maven needs either an Internet connection or a repository
manager with a valid Internet connection to download plugins for building
your project. I.e. plugins for compiling your code, create a jar, install/deploy
etc.pp. Also see [1] and [2].

Well, specify the correct proxy settings in your IDE
and in $HOME/.m2/settings.xml. See [3] for example.

The better option is to install a repository manager
such as Nexus, Archiva, Artifactory etc. on a machine on your network,
especially if you're not the only one working with Maven ([4]).
