Using Nexus-OSS 3.70.2

I set up a proxy repo for the Apache Maven2 repo, like this

 ![Screenshot 2024-11-16 at 11.36.11 AM](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex047/uploads/communitysonatype/original/2X/5/5451c5d9fb892e499b5741f53ce6b3ce3a782048.png)

However, my Gradle builds still show, for example,

```auto
Download https://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2/com/amazonaws/aws-java-sdk-models/1.11.415/aws-java-sdk-models-1.11.415.jar

```

I don’t have a reference to the Apache repo in any of my `build.gradle` or `settings.gradle` files. What am I missing in my proxy setup? Note that I’ve setup other proxy repos, and they work.

Thanks!

This is a question probably better suited for a Gradle list.

With Maven poms can reference remote repositories and depending on your settings.xml configuration they may be used.

Sure. But is there anything obvious in the proxy settings page I show? Thanks.
