How to specify proxy in POM.xml file, no settings.xml file to be found

Question

I'd like to run a set up a jenkins job on a slave I have set up, weird thing is that there is no {MAVEN_HOME}/conf/settings.xml file to be found, so I can't specify the proxy there.

How can I specify a proxy in my pom.xml file, so I can get around my compnay firewall. Any help or guidance would be much appreciated. Thanks

The Config File Provider Plugin :

Adds the ability to provide configuration files (ie, settings.xml for maven, XML, groovy, custom files, etc.) loaded through the Jenkins UI which will be copied to the job's workspace.
