Here is how to proxy live repositories such as maven central:
Select Recipe: maven2 (proxy)
Name: maven central, Release, Strict, maven central url

After using the generated url to fetch 1 or 2 jars, the repository Status will change from Online - Remote Connection Pending to Online.

You can also create your own local by using Select Recipe: maven2 (hosted).
