[MDEP-926] proxy settings ignored for dependencies

**[Patrick Mackinlay](https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/ViewProfile.jspa?name=JIRAUSER304196)** opened **[MDEP-926](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MDEP-926?redirect=false)** and commented

The proxy settings are ignored for dependencies in maven 3.9.6 (working in 3.9.2).

On a machine with no direct internet access, if you clear your local repository with a command like:

rm -rf ~/.m2/repository/org/apache/maven/maven-core/2.2.1

and then try and download the dependency:

mvn dependency:get -DgroupId=org.apache.maven -DartifactId=maven-core -Dversion=2.2.1

It will fail. The proxy settings are ignored. However, it should be noted that for plugins they are used, its only for dependencies that they are ignored.

maven version 3.9.2 works, so looks like this was introduced in 3.9.3 probably when the dependency plugin version was upgraded.

I used a minimal settings.xml with just one proxy entry.

Reproduce the failure with Maven 3.9.6, the minimal settings.xml proxy entry, and the dependency:get command after clearing the local artifact; compare it with Maven 3.9.2. Investigate why proxy settings apply to plugins but not dependencies, and consider the issue done when dependency downloads honor the configured proxy again.
