Creating custom object entity in Alfresco Community 4.2.e

[manoj27]

I want to create a custom object entity and crawl its content using Alfresco API's.<br/>
I am referring <a href="http://ecmarchitect.com/alfresco-developer-series-tutorials/maven-sdk/tutorial/tutorial.html">Alfresco Maven SDK</a> and <a href="http://ecmarchitect.com/alfresco-developer-series-tutorials/content/tutorial/tutorial.html">Custom Content Types</a>. <br/>
On Custom Content Types link page, I am trying to create a new project using command  <br/><blockcode>mvn archetype:generate \
-DarchetypeCatalog=https://artifacts.alfresco.com/nexus/content/groups/public/archetype-catalog.xml \
-Dfilter=org.alfresco.maven.archetype: </blockcode>
<br/>

But, I am facing following error:<br/>
<blockcode>
D:\Alf_data\Alf_SDK>mvn archetype:generate -DarchetypeCatalog=https://artifacts.
alfresco.com/nexus/content/groups/public/archetype-catalog.xml -Dfilter=org.alfr

Your proxy is forbidding access to artifacts.alfresco.com

org.apache.maven.wagon.TransferFailedException: Connect to artifacts.alfresco.com:443 [artifacts.alfresco.com/162.13.213.78] failed: Connection timed out: connect

Check your connectivity to this URL

[manoj27]

Thanks for your response!
I can access the URL via browser and also able to ping it.
Also, I have turned off windows firewall.
But, the issue is still there.

Is there anything else which might prevent it to connect to URL/artifacts.

Maybe you are behind a proxy. Try to set parameters in maven (http://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-proxies.html)
