OK, this seems to solve the problem (I copied the settings.xml file from maven conf, to continuum-1.0.3\bin\win32) Thanks a lot !
Isn't this a rather strange behavior, I mean continuum not looking at the maven/conf/settings.xml. Somewhere I can understand, that you want seperate settings, but by default you could take the maven one. Maybe a good idea to add this information also somewhere on the continuum documetation site, because I could not find this anywhere.
