Maven 3 Eclipse Kepler is it necessary to have the environment variable to work for embedded Maven?

I have installed the last version of kepler the one has the maven embedded in it when I tried many times to create application from any archetype I always got

Could not resolve archetype org.apache.maven.archetypes:maven-archetype-webapp:RELEASE from any of the configured repositories.
Could not resolve artifact org.apache.maven.archetypes:maven-archetype-webapp:pom:RELEASE
Failed to resolve version for org.apache.maven.archetypes:maven-archetype-webapp:pom:RELEASE: Could not find metadata org.apache.maven.archetypes:maven-archetype-webapp/maven-metadata.xml in local (C:\Users\onourdean\.m2\repository)
Failed to resolve version for org.apache.maven.archetypes:maven-archetype-webapp:pom:RELEASE: Could not find metadata org.apache.maven.archetypes:maven-archetype-webapp/maven-metadata.xml in local (C:\Users\onourdean\.m2\repository)

even though:

  1. I have deleted the repository folder inside .m2 and its created again by it self
  2. I have downloaded an external maven and used it
  3. I made the proxy in sittings on both the embedded and the external

any other ideas? My settings.xml

  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<settings xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/SETTINGS/1.0.0" 
          xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" 
          xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/SETTINGS/1.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/settings-1.0.0.xsd">
<pluginGroups>
 </pluginGroups>
 <proxies>
  <proxy>
      <active>true</active>
      <protocol>http</protocol>
      <host>stsproxy</host>
      <port>8080</port>
      <nonProxyHosts>localhost|127.0.0.1</nonProxyHosts>
    </proxy>
  </proxies>
 <servers>
 </servers>
 <mirrors>
 </mirrors>
 <profiles>
 </profiles>
</settings>

Note That:
i have tried all the soultions in the Create a Maven project in Eclipse complains "Could not resolve archetype" except making a variable for maven due to company restriction so is this variable necessary to run the embedded version?

Its seems there is a bug in the embedded version even if i use it outside of the proxy just used the external version

then use wagon-http-lightweight-2.2.jar as described in Can access maven repository from behind proxy, need help

and its worked

I'm not sure if it's still the same with Kepler, but with earlier Eclipse (and M2E) releases this problem usually goes away if you go to Window -> Preferences -> Maven -> Installations and add your local, external Maven installation, which usually causes Eclipse to pick up the correct settings.xml file.
