POHow do I have to configure the proxy settings so Eclipse can download new plugins?

copied!<p>I am working with Eclipse 3.7, on an Windows XP environment behind a web proxy.</p> <p>I want to install the <a href="http://groovy.codehaus.org/Eclipse+Plugin" rel="noreferrer">Groovy plugin</a> on a <em>newly unzipped</em> Eclipse Indigo (<em>Eclipse Java EE Indigo M4</em>). I added the <a href="http://dist.codehaus.org/groovy/distributions/greclipse/snapshot/e3.7/" rel="noreferrer">update site</a> to the <code>Available Software Site</code> list.</p> <p>But Eclipse is not able to retrieve the information of this plugin, and thus the installation is not possible...</p> <p>If I put <code>Native</code> configuration in <code>General > Network Connections</code>, which does not have the <code>Auth</code> option selected, I get the following error when I trying to reach the update site:</p> <pre><code>HTTP Proxy Authentication Required: http://dist.codehaus.org/groovy/distributions/greclipse/snapshot/e3.7/content.xml HTTP Proxy Authentication Required: http://dist.codehaus.org/groovy/distributions/greclipse/snapshot/e3.7/content.xml Proxy Authentication Required </code></pre> <p>So now, I select <code>manual</code>, I define all correct information for the three schemas (HTTP, HTTPS, SOCKS): proxy, port, Auth, User and password. However, when I try to reach the update site, Eclipse is indicating that he is <code>Fetching children of Groovy Eclipse</code>, but keep this status at 0%...</p> <p>What is strange is that even if I put a wrong password in the <code>General > Network Connections</code> configuration, I don't get any error message.</p> <p><strong>My questions:</strong></p> <ul> <li>What is wrong in my configuration?</li> <li>Is there another way to define the proxy configuration? </li> <li>Is there a way to get more information, to know what Eclipse is trying to do (the <code>workspace/.metadata/.log</code> doesn't contain any useful information) ? </li> </ul> <p>Another problem (minor however) is that the modifications of the proxy settings seem to be handled only after an Eclipse restart.</p> <hr> <p><em>ps1:</em> Using my browser, I can reach the update site, so it is not blocked by the proxy.</p> <p><em>ps2:</em> This problem is not related to this plugin, as Eclipse behaves the same way for other plugin.</p> <p><em>ps3:</em> Here is the content of the <code>workspace/.metadata/.log</code> when I start Eclipse and try to install the plugin (all these logs are written during the startup, none when Eclipse tries to access the update site)</p> <pre><code>!SESSION 2011-05-02 10:38:58.681 ----------------------------------------------- eclipse.buildId=I20101208-1300 java.version=1.6.0_20 java.vendor=Sun Microsystems Inc.
