How to update an Eclipse plugin from a password protected site? - eclipse

I read on [this site(http://javaforge.com/project/HGE) that I need to "sign-up" in order to download the Eclipse plugin for Mercurial. I signed up but nothing appears to happen. When I try to download the plugin by going to Help => Install new software and typing in the site address (http://cbes.javaforge.com/update), Eclipse states it's unable to connect, "Error Contacting Site: No software site found ..." (I don't get to type in a password / username).
I then read on this site that the plugin is also available here:
http://mercurialeclipse.eclipselabs.org.codespot.com/hg.wiki/update_site/stable
The question is and what I don't get is how is a password protected "Software Site" supposed to work with Eclipse. When was I supposed to be asked for a password / username during this process?

Normal a pop up should prompt for login credentials, after you entered the update site URL.
If no credential promt appear's, it may be that there are already credentials stored within your eclipse secure storage (the same location for all installed eclipse derivate's you run.)
You find such information's at:
Preferences -> Security -> Secure Storage -> [Tab] "Contents"

Authorisation failure Connecting to TFS from Eclipse in Ubuntu

I am using Eclipse Juno (Linux) and added TFS plug-in for Eclipse. Server URL https://******ftware.visualstudio.com and added username and password. This is my Microsoft Live ID which got access to Visual Studio online, but it gives an error message Authorization failure connecting to https://******ftware.visualstudio.com using this username and password.
Username and password works well when connecting from browser. Not sure what is going on.
This plug-in works well on a Windows machine.
You may need to use the "alternate credentials" that does not rely on an MSA (Live ID). In the web access you can click on your name in the top right. There should be a settings drop down that lets you enable and set the alternate credentials for Linux.

TFS mac eclipse plugin - Can't connect to server, error 403

I installed the Team Explorer Everywhere Eclipse (Kepler) Plugin but when I try to connect to the server i get this message:
The SOAP endpoint https://vsas.myurl.com/Services/v1.0/Registration.asmx could not be contacted. HTTP status: 403
1st time I tried to connect, it asked me for my user and password, after that it never asked me again, but I want to try with different user/pass and I cant find where I can change that.
I'm using OS Mavericks, and I didnĀ“t find any credential related in the keychain utility.
Thank you!
Edit: My user is out of license, but I have another user that is with a valid license. I would like to try with other user/pass but I don't know where to change that.
Finally I uninstall the plugin, logout from TFS Website, re-install the plugin, enter a new username and password when prompted and that was the solution, everything is working fine now.

GWT eclipse plugin install asks for authentication

I am using Eclipse Juno on a WindowsXP machine. When I try to Install New Software from the Google plugin site http://dl.google.com/eclipse/plugin/4.2, it prompts me for a username and password
The error says = Authentication failed for http://dl.google.com/eclipse/plugin/4.2.
I have tried my gmail account login, but that does not work.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Do you have 2 factor authentication enabled? If so you would need to use an application specific password.

Can I set-up Springsource ToolSuite (STS) or Eclipse to pick up my Network ID and password for Internet Access

When using Eclipse (3.6.) or STS (2.6. or 2.8., based on Eclipse 3.6.) you need to set-up proxy entries in order to be able to access the internet.
This can be a pain so I'd like to be able to set-up the entry to automatically detect the userID and password.
I presume that this can be done as we used to have to enter our ID and password for internet access when using IE, or Firefox, but this is now done for us using Kerberos.
I've been told that if Eclipse links to Kerberos or NTLM - Then we can set up the proxy.
So does anyone know if Eclipse will link into Kerberos or NTLM ? and if so, how do we do it ?
Thanks.
I think you are looking for the preference page Preferences -> General -> Network Connection. You can set your proxy and other network information here.

Glassfish Developer Profile

I would like to enable auto-deploy on glassfish.
Thanks to Nacho for pointing out my mismatch of version in the original question
I have looked at this link:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19316-01/820-4337/fvxze/index.html
and it says I need to do this as a developer profile. I do not hink I have a developer profile set up on glassfish as I cannot see the "Application Server Component" it tells me to
Is there a way I can tell which profile I have? Is there a way I can amend my existing profile to a developer one so I can enable auto-deployment?
I guess the question is now how can I change the auto-deploy settings on Glassfish 3. There is an auto-deploy directory but what if I want to change the polling time etc.
Many thanks
"To enable or disable auto-deployment from the GlassFish Server Administration Console, navigate to the Domain node and then click the Applications Configuration tab."
