I do some work at a health care institute which uses authenticated proxy for web access. I also have some code on a sourceforge site (Projeny) on sourceforge's SVN server. I tried configuring proxy within Eclipse but this wouldn't let me check out the project from the Subversion repository using Subclipse. Read on for proxy configuration.
My environment: 64-bit Linux, with 64-bit Eclipse Europa (3.3.x) running on a 64-bit JVM (of course!), with the Subclipse plug-in v1.2.4 installed.
Now, I needed to check out my code from sourceforge.net's subversion repository. The code belongs to my project Projeny, which is a front-end for BNT (Bayes Net Toolbox).
I have configured Eclipse to use a http proxy with authentication for both http and https. In spite of this, when I try to check out my project from the SVN repository, I get a time-out error because Subclipse cannot connect to the SVN server.
I found from the Subversion website that the proxy server is configured in the ~/.subversion/servers file. The Subclipse plug-in reeads this file instead of the setting in Eclipse (duh!).
So, modify your ~/.subversion/server file to have these lines:
[global]
http-proxy-exceptions = *.example.com
http-proxy-host = proxy.example.com
http-proxy-port = 8080
http-proxy-username = myuserid
http-proxy-password = mypassword
By the way, if you are new to Linux, the tilde sign (~) denotes your home directory (of the user who runs Eclipse). The configuration is similar in Windows too, I think. Check out the following website for more information:
