maven-shade-plugin ConnectException: Connection refused for getting java.sun.com DTD (processed by XMLAppendingTransformer for building Apache CXF)

I have tried to build an old version of Apache CXF, because in our legacy project we are using version Apache CXF 2.2.2, but I get this error when building the full library (with Maven 3.2.5):
[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-shade-plugin:1.2:shade (default)
on project cxf-bundle: Error creating shaded jar. Connection refused: connect
By looking in the stack-trace, I've noticed this:
org.apache.maven.plugins.shade.resource.XmlAppendingTransformer.processResource(XmlAppendingTransformer.java:61)
and also:
com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.impl.XMLEntityManager.startDTDEntity(XMLEntityManager.java:1282)
Here is the full stack-trace:
mvn -e -Pfastinstall,everything

Because it is mentioning an XmlAppendingTransformer and XMLEntityManager.startDTDEntity, then I imagine that it's related to some DTD reference which is no longer valid, such as the one which appears in META-INF/cxf/extensions.xml:
<!DOCTYPE properties SYSTEM "http://java.sun.com/dtd/properties.dtd">
But how can I fix this?
I am running Maven behind a corporate http proxy, and I already configured the proxy in my settings.xml but I still get the "Cannot connect" error.
I have also tried with:
mvn -Dhttp.proxyHost=myproxy -Dhttp.proxyPort=myport -Dhttp.proxyUser=myuser -Dhttp.proxyPassword=mypassword -Pfastinstall,everything
but then I get this error:
java.io.IOException: Server returned HTTP response code: 407 for URL: http://java.sun.com/dtd/properties.dtd
How can I skip the checking of the DTD by the XMLAppendingTransformer ?

After some more digging around, I have found that maven-shade-plugin has an option to ignoreDtd (which is actually even enabled by default), but it was only introduced in version 1.3.1, whereas Apache CXF 2.2.2 is using maven-shade-plugin version 1.2:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-shade-plugin</artifactId>
<version>1.2</version>
</plugin>
So my solution was to upgrade the maven-shade-plugin to version 1.3.1 inside the main pom.xml:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-shade-plugin</artifactId>
<version>1.3.1</version>
</plugin>
But then I started getting another error, which is of a very different nature, so I documented it here:
An API incompatibility was encountered while executing org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-shade-plugin:1.3.1:shade: java.lang.AbstractMethodError: null

This is the exception I'm getting while giving maven install. It occurs for all projects. I'm compiling OSGI-BUNDLES with maven. Changing the settings.xml is also not helping. I can't deploy my bundles in Karaf due to this error. Seems .m2/repository/repository.xml is empty.

Any Mojo Exception that occurs is due to the issue that some jar is not being downloaded properly during mvn install.
Try to delete your .m2 local repository and do a clean build again and see if you face the same problem again.
Also try to check the compatibility of Java verson with the Maven version you are using that can also cause an issue. dependency checking can also some time solve it as you may have forgotten to add the correct dependency in your pom.xml

[WARNING] Exception while updating local OBR: Unable to read repository xml: file:/home/.m2/repository/repository.xml
On my machine this was because permissions on the repository.xml for my user were mysteriously removed. When i restored them, the error went away and everything behaved as expected.

The environment which I am using is as follows:
Eclipse Galileo
Java 1.6.0_34 (32 bits on 64 machine)
JBoss Seam 2.2
JBoss AS 5.1
What could be the problem?

I didn't understand the problem but I found a solution: I cleaned my .m2 directory and reinstalled the jdk.
For sure it's that one kind of environment problems which we never can reproduce.

Upgrading versions of Maven from 3.2 to 3.4 worked for me.

I met this problem too. I solved this by reduce the pom dependency one by one.
At last I found that son-lib was the main reason for problem. So i deleted this dependency and all worked fine.

I know that this means I am missing a class on the classpath. The trouble is it shouldn't be looking for this class (I am not using it).
Running the jetty server from the Linux console works fine.
To make things more bizarre if I run it as an external tool (within eclipse), and then connect to the debugging session it runs just fine. The bizarre part is that if I shut this server down and then run/debug in the original way (the way that first issued an error) it now runs fine.
One more piece of possibly relevant information is that the Eclipse project configurations where pulled from a repository, and the Windows users do not see this issue.
What is going on here? Is there a way to fix it?

I finally figured it out. So I am posting this answer for anyone having the same trouble.
I was using the IBM JDK and as soon as I switched to the Oracle JDK this issue went away. So the answer is to switch to a different version of the JDK/JVM that you are using.
