"Creating maven-archtype-quickstart" ran into problem

I installed maven 3.3.3 and the installation was successful.

However, when trying to create a maven project in eclipse, I get the following error

'Creating maven-archtype-quickstart' has encountered a problem

Could not resolve archetype org.apache.maven.archetypes:maven-archetype-quickstart:1.1 from any of the configured repositories.

I added proxy data to my settings.xml (got it from my browser) with / without username

<proxies>
  <proxy>
    <id>462603</id>
    <active>true</active>
    <protocol>http</protocol>
    <username>com\462603</username>
    <password>xxxxxxxx</password>
    <host>proxy.company.com</host>
    <port>6050</port>
    <nonProxyHosts>10.*|*.company.com</nonProxyHosts>
  </proxy>
</proxies>

      

        
        
        
      

    

I have listed this .xml option in Eclipse-> Windows-> Preferences-> Maven-> User Preferences

Also added style http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/archetype-catalog.xml in Eclipse-> Windows-> Preferences-> Maven-> Archtype

Also, the error still persists

I know there are many such duplicate questions, but the solutions mentioned in all of this don't work.
