Often times, Eclipse IDE may need access to the Internet for some plugins install and update. If your computer is behind a proxy server, most company do, Eclipse will keep hanging and take very long time to process and failed at the end. You have to configure the proxy settings in Eclipse in order to pass through it.
Howh to configure Proxy Settings in Eclipse
1) In Eclipse IDE, select “Window –> Preferences”
2) Preferences box prompt out, choose “Network Connections”.
3) Select “Manual” from Action Provider drop down list
4) Select Http in the List and click “Edit” button
5) Fill in the proxy server host and port number, (fill in the username and password if any)
6) Ok, Done.
Now, Eclipse is able to connect to Internet and pass through Proxy server.
Here are some of my recommended Books
Great help. Thanks.
Good point is not to configure SOCKS proxy if the proxy actually doesn’t support it.
Configure just HTTP and HTTPS and clear SOCKS

Hello, nice documentment, how do you trace the proxy connection from eclipse?
What trace strings should we set in the .options file?
should that be org.eclipse.core.net/debug=true
and org.eclipse.core.net.proxy/debug=true?
Thank in advance
thanks,one of the nice tutorial
thank you, very helpful
Thanks for your trouble, appreciate it.
Just interesting.
When i want to update eclipse i set “active provider” to “manual”.
If i want to connect to inner svn server i should check “active provider” to “native”.
Then all works fine.
Is there any way to do it automatically?
Thanks

After I try to configure proxy settings with the above steps and then I configure the application server, the server is in stopped, synchronised state.
Sm this approach is not successfull.
Please suggest and alternative..
I wonder if there is any way of configuring eclipse proxy settings via an autoproxy configuration script
Hi Enrico,
Just wanted to know if you figured this out….I am having the same issue…Although all major browsers have this capability to connect via an autoproxy configuration script, I did not see Eclipse is capable of that yet (using Eclipse Helios). I can browse using a browser but cannot connect using Eclipse. This is particularly a pain if you are using Maven2 with Eclipse and there is no local repository yet…
Please do let me know if you found any work around.
Thanks,
Vikram
Hi Vikram,
You will just need to set the proxy manual as defined in the autoconfiguration script. To do this just download the script by copying the script location (like http://mycompany.com/proxy.pac) in your webbrowser and open the script in a text editor (it is plain text file). Somewhere in the script it will say something like return “PROXY your.proxy.com:8080″
hope this helps
Great Mkyong
thank you very much!
