I'm able to get to know the root cause of the error is some authentication
issue("peer not authenticated"). But not able to get it resolved as I am
not aware what authetication I need to key in and where to key in.
Additional details : I am using Maven 3.0.3 and JDK 1.7
Thanks in advance for your time in helping me resolving the issue. Let me
know if you need any additional info.
Thanks
