In our install4j installed application we use HttpClient (Apache) with "useSystemProperties" to perform http requests. Up until v9.0 of install4j that meant windows proxy settings were automatically applied. However, since 9.0.4 this no longer works (probably since 9.0.1 since proxy handling was reworked there, but I haven't been able to verify this). The installer itself still detects proxy settings (update check uses the proxy as before), but they are no longer "forwarded" to the installed application.
Is there a way to turn this "forwarding" back on?
In install4j 9.0.1+ the proxy settings are no longer available as system properties.
On Windows, install4j 9.0.1+ uses native code, not Java sockets for HTTP requests. To force the use of Java sockets you can set the VM parameter
-Dinstall4j.noWinInetConnection=true
The auto-detected proxy that is used for the connection can then be obtained from
com.install4j.runtime.installer.helper.content.ProxyHelper.getProxyHostInfo(url)
Eclipse is unable to connect to the internet when I am using a VPN.
The VPN I am using is: https://www.privateinternetaccess.com/
I have no issues when I try browsing the web using the VPN.
If I try to do something like access the Eclipse Marketplace I get an error saying connection fails and it suggests I should check my internet connection and retry.
I have tried restarting eclipse many times. I have tried changing my network connection preferences in eclipse (Direct, Manual, Native).
I don't really understand why connecting to a VPN should have any effect on eclipse.
Maybe, you have not set proxy (and login credentials) in the eclipse.
I'm trying to connect my Eclipse IDE to my company's sonar server instance, but I can't figure out why it doesn't work.
When I access the server (https://mycompany.com/sonar, for example purposes) through the browser, it works perfectly. In Eclipse, I added the url to the servers section of SonarQube and the same credentials I used in the browser. When I hit Test Connection, I get the error message:
Unable to connect: Query: https://mycompany.com/sonar//api/authentication/validate
I'm using the native option in Eclipse's network settings, since I'm not behind any proxy. The company SonarQube server version is 4.5.5.
Am I doing something wrong? Does anyone know how to fix this?
Edit: the certificate is also added to JRE
I suspect the /api/aut is due to some UI truncation, just expand the 'Add SonarQube Server' window to verify that.
You are trying to connect to an HTTPS URL, is the server certificate trusted by Java ? Use keytool to do that, as explained in this post.
Check the sonar link you have configured in eclipse - https://mycompany.com/sonar**//**api/authentication/validate
You need to give the url https://mycompany.com/sonar and not https://mycompany.com/sonar/
I have managed to get Eclipse Juno connecting to the internet. For this to accomplish, there are many posts here on stackoverflow. here is one of this links:
Eclipse not connecting to internet via proxy
Today i installed Eclipse Kepler on my Windows7 box. But accessing the eclipse marketplace or installing new software does not work.
I am using exactly the same proxy configuration as i used for Eclipse Juno. Juno can access the marketplace but Kepler does not.
The proxy uses NTLM Authentification.
Any one here with similar problem?
No success til now. I am still wondering why Juno can connect whereas Kepler can not:-(
I had same issue. I searched and found this.

This post says don't set SOCKS proxy. I tried this advice, and connection was succeeded.
I did below:
Open Network Connection Settings.
Select Active Provider to "Manual".
Set HTTP/HTTPS proxy.
Clear SOCKS proxy if this is set.(select SOCKS proxy row and click "Clear" button)
Restart Eclipse to apply these settings.
I spent hours trying to use this method suggested by mhanada and although it is correct and should have worked the default Secure Storage associated with eclipse was preventing my proxy credentials from being saved. I advise: Be wary of exceptions being thrown regarding Secure Storage. In my case the errors related to being unable to connect to a remote location where the default secure storage path was. In my case I just deleted the Default Secure Storage information via Preferences > General > Security > Secure Storage > Contents > Delete.
In my case I set it to "native" settings where socks was enabled for proxy. (Internet Explorer->Internetoptions->Connections->LAN-Settings->Proxy Settings). After disabling it there and adding the following lines to eclipse.ini everything works well:
-Dorg.eclipse.ecf.provider.filetransfer.excludeContributors=org.eclipse.ecf.provider.filetransfer.httpclient4
-Dorg.eclipse.ecf.provider.filetransfer.retrieve.closeTimeout=3000
-Dorg.eclipse.ecf.provider.filetransfer.retrieve.readTimeout=3000
In my case the problem started after installing the Spring Tool Suite. Uninstalling it solved the problem.
Version: Kepler Service Release 1
A friend of mine ran into that exact problem (fresh machine with a fresh eclipse Kepler installation, the computer was not behind a firewall or proxy.) It turned out to be an issue with Java 7 update 51, when we used a Java 6 JRE to run eclipse the problem was magically solved.
Another note:
After changing my Windows password, eclipse's Windows-integrated secure storage seemed to have become inaccessible without notice. Apparently this not only made eclipse 'forget' my proxy auth settings but also prevented it from storing the credentials after I set them up again. I could configure them any way I wanted but as soon as I clicked "OK" they were gone again.
The solution for me was to go to General > Security > Secure Storage and click on "Change Password..." for the Windows Integration master password provider. Of course, this wiped all passwords previously stored by eclipse, but it left me with a clean, working Secure Storage and allowed me to successfully set up and store the proxy credentials again.
I had faced the same problem , The issue with my set up was I was using JDK, after repointing to JRE it is working perfectly now.
Proxy Setup- Windows->Preferences->General->Network Connections.
Active Provider-Native, Just make sure HTTP - Dynamic should be checked, remaining all should be Unchecked.
Note: Above Description Tried and tested with Kepler only.
It happened to me because eclipse was using JRE and not JDK.
To force eclipse to use a given VM, edit
<eclipse_root>\eclipse.ini
and add those 2 lines at the top of the file:
-vm
C:/Program Files/Java/jdk1.6.0_45/bin/javaw.exe
Note:
Eclipse using JRE was triggering a:

Did you make sure that you selected the Manual mode in the Active Provider section? Go to the Preferences/General/Network Connections menu again and change that if it is not. I think that part is kind a buggy.
I had this issue, and i changed the proxy settings with password in eclipse.
go to windows-> preferences-> search for "proxy"
open Network connections.
Select Active Provider to Manual.
Set HTTP and HTTPS proxy, system username and password.
(it was not working without username and password in my machine)
Clear SOCKS proxy if its set.
File-> Restart
I am running Ubuntu 9.10 and I'm attempting to install a plugin for Eclipse 3.5 from a repository that my company created. This worked in the past on this linux box and also works just fine on my laptop which has Windows XP installed.
The exact error message I'm getting in Eclipse is:
Unknown Host: <location of repository>
org.eclipse.equinox.internal.provisional.p2.core.ProvisionException
Any ideas what might be causing something that used to work not to work anymore?
Thanks!
EDIT: Also, it might be useful to know that I can connect to other eclipse plugin repositories fine; it seems that only my company's internal one is the problem.
It is usually due to a proxy used by Eclipse where it shouldn't use it to access a local self-hosted repo.
Try to set the proxy to "Direct" (hence selecting no Proxy entries at all)
Preferences > General > Network Connections,
(so switch from "Native" or "Manual" to "Direct")
Try other link. I got the same error while using link for "Paris, France - Europe". But than I tried with http://emonic.sourceforge.net/updatesite/nchc/site.xml "Tainan, Taiwan - Asia" and all worked just fine.
It's probably this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sun-java6/+bug/486215
