Eclipse need to configure with proxy settings to work in  in corporate organizations:

For Development environments need to configure in eclipse in the below way:

Method 1:

Open Eclipse-> Window-> Preferences – > General -> Network Connections

1. Select Active Provider as “Manual”
2. Provide Host name for HTTP/HTTPS like   ‘testproxy.org.com” and give credentials along with domain name (username corp\username)
   • Clear the settings for SOCKs, otherwise all request will go through firewall, not through Proxy
3. Restart the server. You must need to restart to take effect the changes.
   • Eclipse will save all these settings in the file:  org.eclipse.core.net.prefs at below locations
     1. Kepler and higher versions:  eclipse/configuration/.setttings/org.eclipse.core.net.prefs
     2. lower version :  workspace\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.core.runtime\.settings\org.eclipse.core.net.prefs
   • File content would be:

     1. eclipse.preferences.version=1
        nonProxiedHosts=localhost|127.0.0.1
        org.eclipse.core.net.hasMigrated=true
        proxiesEnabled=true
        proxyData/HTTP/hasAuth=true
        proxyData/HTTP/host=proxy.com
        proxyData/HTTP/port=8080
        proxyData/HTTPS/hasAuth=true
        proxyData/HTTPS/host=proxy.com
        proxyData/HTTPS/port=8080
        systemProxiesEnabled=false

Method 2:

configure the proxy settings in eclipse.ini.    so the below settings after vmargs:

-vmargs
-Dhttp.proxyPort=8080
-Dhttp.proxyHost=proxycom
-Dhttp.proxyUser=corp\userame
-Dhttp.proxyPassword=test
-Dhttp.nonProxyHosts=localhost|127.0.0.1
