Open Eclipse-> Window-> Preferences – > General -> Network Connections
- Select Active Provider as “Manual”
- 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
- 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
- Kepler and higher versions: eclipse/configuration/.setttings/org.eclipse.core.net.prefs
- lower version : workspace\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.core.runtime\.settings\org.eclipse.core.net.prefs
- File content would be:
-
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
