Nexus not connecting to maven-central I am new to nexus and have installed my nexus manager on Linux box. I have added the remote proxy certificate  from the Repositories->Settings page and have also setup the proxy settings, but still I am gettin gthe status in the repositories list as Online - Remote Connection Pending Is there anything else I need to do to access the remote maven-central repository?


Current Nexus 3 builds don't do the automatic connection test that Nexus 2 does.  The status will change to online when the first outbound request is made to central.  Try running a build against the server, that should do it.
If it doesn't, then you have a network problem, check the logs for details.
