= Why does Maven not download dependencies?

Maven uses HTTP to download its dependencies along with the dependencies
of the Maven project (such as Camel).

If you run Maven and it fails to download your required dependencies it's
likely to be caused by your local firewall & HTTP proxy configurations.

See the http://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-proxies.html[Maven documentation for details of how to configure the HTTP proxy].
