mvn -vsersion apache maven 3.1.1 (0728685237757ffbf44136acec0402957f723d9a; 2013-09-17 20:22:22+0500) maven home: d:\servers\apache-maven\bin\.. java version: 1.6.0_32, vendor: sun microsystems inc. java home: c:\program files (x86)\java\jdk1.6.0_32\jre default locale: en_us, platform encoding: cp1252 os name: "windows 7", version: "6.1", arch: "x86", family: "windows" 

add -x command enable maven's debug logging.

if it's stuck on like

[debug] searching remote catalog: http://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2/archetype-catalog.xml 

you have connection problem. since has been working before, don't need configure proxy. instead - since using windows - guess is, virus scanner/personal firewall blocking or rather "scanning" connection, resulting in slow response. try temporarily disabling virus scanner/personal firewall , see if helps.
