Question & Answer
Question
How do you configure proxy settings for Eclipse for use with IBM Rational Team Concert?
Cause
Eclipse has proxy settings on Window > Preference > General > Network Connections; however, it does not work correctly because of Eclipse Bug 364992.
Answer
There are two alternative ways to configure proxy settings for Eclipse.
- Add proxy settings at the bottom of eclipse.ini as follows:
Note: If the proxy server does not require any authentications, you do not have to add http.proxyUser and proxyPassword.
-Dorg.eclipse.ecf.provider.filetransfer.excludeContributors=org.eclipse.ecf.provider.filetransfer.httpclient
-Dhttp.proxyPort=9443
-Dhttp.proxyHost=squid.jkebanking.net
-Dhttp.proxyUser=clmadmin
-Dhttp.proxyPassword=clmadmin
- Add org.eclipse.core.net.prefs into <workspace>\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.core.runtime\.settings.
The contents of org.eclipse.core.net.prefs should look as follows:
systemProxiesEnabled=false
proxiesEnabled=true
proxyData/HTTP/host=squid.jkebanking.net
proxyData/HTTP/hasAuth=true
proxyData/HTTP/port=9080
eclipse.preferences.version=1
proxyData/HTTPS/port=9443
proxyData/HTTPS/hasAuth=true
proxyData/HTTPS/host=squid.jkebanking.net
org.eclipse.core.net.hasMigrated=true
