Hi Folks, I am trying build es from source as guided in [http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/appendix/building-from-source.html](http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/appendix/building-from-source.html). I downloaded the zipped and extracted to elasticsearch-elasticsearch-v0.19.8-37-g2daa263. I go to to root directory where the pom.xml exists and executed mvn package -DskipTests. I hit the following error C:\_personal\dev\elasticsearch-elasticsearch-2daa263\>mvn package -DskipTests [INFO] Scanning for projects...

Did you define some settings in your maven installation (settings.xml)? Are you behind a firewall?

David, Thanks for the tips. It was purely my ignorance. _Just like you said,_ the issue is in my maven configuration. I am behind the firewall and have not set the proxy setting. After specifying proper proxy setting in setting.xml, the code is being downloaded now.
