I installed eclipse 3.5 at my work place (where we access internet through an authenticated NTML proxy). I was unable to make eclipse pass through this proxy, which prevented me to install updates and additional software.
Anthony Dahanne’s describes the workaround on his blog (in french). The Apache httpclient implementation should be disabled because it doesn’t work well with NTMLv2 proxies.
For NTLMv2 Proxies, that require user name and password for access the workaround is to
- Disable the ECF httpclient provider.
- Provide the NTLMv2 proxy authentication info (proxyhost, domain, username, and password)
In practice, edit your eclipse.ini file to append the following properties.
-Dorg.eclipse.ecf.provider.filetransfer.excludeContributors=org.eclipse.ecf.provider.filetransfer.httpclient
-Dhttp.proxyPort=8080
-Dhttp.proxyHost=myproxy
-Dhttp.proxyUser=mydomain\myusername
-Dhttp.proxyPassword=mypassword
-Dhttp.nonProxyHosts=localhost|127.0.0.1

Well done, sir. Well done.
Hi.
This solution didn't work for me....
I'm working with Eclipse 3.5.2 on a machine with linux.
I add those lines to eclipse.ini after -vmargs entry and configure active provider into eclipse to MANUAL with all the configuration HTTP, HTTPS and SOCKS.
When i try to update i get this error:
"HTTP Proxy Authentication Required: http://download.eclipse.org/releases/galileo/content.xml
Proxy auth required
"
Can you help me?
Thanks a ton!!. Its works like charm. Was trying disabling HHTP, HTTPS and SOCK connections.

Thank you very very much. In Ubuntu 10.04 the ini file is /etc/eclipse.ini.
Ciao and thanks
Thanks a lot for this solution. Helped me a lot from spenting one more day in making this work in my work place.
I've been looking for a way to convert docx to pdf and I was wondering what you would suggest as the best way to do that?
Gary,
I think CutePDF is better solution, if you are looking for free.
I use Foxit Reader (Due to low memory foot print)and Foxit PDF writter (it's not free and it puts water marks on topend of the page).
Regards,
Mihir
it works! thank you
