Eclipse (STS) HTTP Proxy Configuration - eclipse

I upgraded from Spring Tool Suite (STS) 3.2 to STS 3.3 and it has brought a few issues with it.
When trying to download plugins, I get "Proxy Authentication Required.." errors.
I have my http proxy configured correctly (the same way as 3.2). I have even compared all the .ini files between the versions and cannot find a difference.
As many posts have suggestion, I have also cleared the SOCKS proxy, and even tried to specify in the .ini files that it is not to be used- but again without any luck.
I have tried configuring the HTTPS proxy and playing with the properties in the .ini files for both, restarts, running under different permissions, ect...
Could use some new ideas on this one.
Thanks a lot for reading.

I had the same problem. It turned out that this was caused by two plugins. To allow your STS to connect to the internet via proxy just delete this two plugins:
org.apache.httpcomponents.httpcore_4.2.4.v201305222326.jar
org.apache.httpcomponents.httpclient_4.2.5.v201305222326.jar
There should be older versions of this plugins so everything should be working fine.

The same thing just happened to me on installing STS 3.4. I could only get the proxy to work by switching my proxy provider to manual, editing the http schema and adding my proxy username and password. Less than ideal.
If I remove STS, the native proxy provider starts working again.

I had to add the following 2 lines to STS.ini file. The first line at the top of the file and the second line at the bottom of the STS.ini file:
-clean
...
-Dorg.eclipse.ecf.provider.filetransfer.excludeContributors=org.eclipse.ecf.provider.filetransfer.httpclient4
Then on the following file, which exists in the STS (Eclipse) installation folder...
configuration\.settings\org.eclipse.core.net.prefs
...I had to enable proxies making sure that the following properties were set to true:
proxiesEnabled=true
systemProxiesEnabled=true
Only after doing this and rebooting STS, the proxy settings I had entered through the UI previously, took effect.
Edit (2020-01-30):
If the file org.eclipse.core.net.prefs doesn't exist, just create with the following basic content. Edit as needed.
eclipse.preferences.version=1
nonProxiedHosts=localhost|127.0.0.1|another-host-in-your-LAN
org.eclipse.core.net.hasMigrated=true
proxiesEnabled=true
systemProxiesEnabled=true
proxyData/HTTP/hasAuth=true
proxyData/HTTP/host=your-proxy
proxyData/HTTP/port=80
proxyData/HTTPS/hasAuth=true
proxyData/HTTPS/host=your-proxy
proxyData/HTTPS/port=80

There is an open issue: https://issuetracker.springsource.com/browse/STS-3647
It is recommended to download the latest nightly build.

Issue with the proxy settings when installing Eclipse

I have the same issue with Eclipse (Neon 4.6 eclipse installer by Oomph 32 bit) as in this question and as explained there I have downloaded the automatic configuration script (the script is set up through the Group Policy so I can’t change my LAN settings) that my browser is using. I used the host and port in the return statement and did as explained below
Select the "HTTP" line and click the edit button
Add the IP address and port number above to the http line:
Does anyone know what else I can try because I am still getting a network problem message?
Your help will be appreciated
Proxy Network problem message:
I have changed the active provider to Manual and retried again, then it worked.
I installed an old version and it's worked well.
this is the link for the old version:
https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/release/oxygen/2
You can download a zip file of the Eclipse package you want and explode it in your filesystem where you want it,
Here is link for Eclipse package for windows:
https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/download.php?file=/technology/epp/downloads/release/2021-06/R/eclipse-java-2021-06-R-win32-x86_64.zip&mirror_id=17
Or select another package here:

For me, I had similar issues to this that related to my office network and their use of a security tool called Netskope which needed its root-certificate into the jvm that would be used by the Eclipse installer. I elaborated on my workaround steps in this other thread:

eclipse update sites: HTTP Proxy Authentication Required error

when I go to Install new software and select an update site, I get a "HTTP Proxy Authentication Required" error.
I have searched the internets for quite some time, and I still did not get an answer.
Facts:
I get this error for every update site.
I am able to access the update site link both in an internal or external browser.
I am using the "native" proxy in eclipse network settings.
direct proxy in eclipse network settings does not work either.
our helpdesk told me that it's not possible to set up the manual proxy in eclipse network settings (or they don't know)
I've tried manually inserting a proxy server:port that I found in a proxy.pac file that I've discovered, no luck...
I've tried reinstalling Eclipse, re-adding and/or reloading repositories and deleting repo cache dir
I'm using: -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true in ini file
I've tried mirroring the repositories using both methods, but log file gives the same proxy error
My system:
Eclipse for PHP Developers
Version: Luna Service Release 1a (4.4.1)
Build id: 20150109-0600
Windows 7, 64bit
Just add this at the end of your eclipse.ini :
-Dorg.eclipse.ecf.provider.filetransfer.excludeContributors=org.eclipse.ecf.provider.filetransfer.httpclient4
In my case I had to set the proxy also to manual (SOCKS should be unchecked). But then, no more hassle.
It basically disables the default Apache HTTP client and will use an HTTP client based on the JRE URL connection.
See: https://wiki.eclipse.org/Disabling_Apache_Httpclient
Edit:
There is a new Apache HTTP client version for which the parameter value has changed:
-Dorg.eclipse.ecf.provider.filetransfer.excludeContributors=org.eclipse.ecf.provider.filetransfer.httpclient45
To disable both use:
-Dorg.eclipse.ecf.provider.filetransfer.excludeContributors=org.eclipse.ecf.provider.filetransfer.httpclient45,org.eclipse.ecf.provider.filetransfer.httpclient4
I could solve the same problem by going to "Windows" → "Preferences" → "Network Connections" and set "Active Provider" to "Direct". See more details and a screenshot in my answer here.
Switch to the manual proxy options
Enter your proxy, user and password
Do it for al except SOCKS. SOCKS you may leave empty.
I've tried a lot of solutions in Google, but nothing :(
I was going to forget about eclipse, but suddenly it worked :)
In the end I talked to a guy who manages the proxy settings in our company and luckily he did some changes to the proxy server and now I'm able to install addons & update software from within eclipse :-)
For my proxy settings, I HAD to leave SOCKS proxy configuration empty after entering manual proxy settings for both HTTP and HTTPS.
Leaving them all empty didn't work, and filling them all out didn't work either.
It worked for me using this in eclipse.ini:
-Dorg.eclipse.ecf.provider.filetransfer.excludeContributors=org.eclipse.ecf.provider.filetransfer.httpclient45,org.eclipse.ecf.provider.filetransfer.httpclient4
Source: https://wiki.eclipse.org/Disabling_Apache_Httpclient45
If you are using eclipse through a virtual machine, then set the network settings to manual in Eclipse. That should solve the issue.

Eclipse Indigo is unable to read repository (update sites)

First of all this question has been asked at least twice.
I tried several approaches with no effect.
Here's the problem:
When I try to download/update plugins like EclEmma, Eclipse starts to communicate with the repository and that takes about 5 minutes. After that I get an error:
"An error occured while collecting items to be installed
session context was:(...)
Unable to read repository at http: (...)
Read time out
(... for every *.jar)"
What I was trying to fix the problem was running eclipse as an admin (got vista x86 running) and changing the connection properties from native to direct and back. I also tried deleting saved repositories and adding again. No effect at all.
I have no proxy configured and don't need one.
This is getting kind of personal between me and my IDE :D
So I hope you guys can help me out.
Thanks Zoltán (köszi :D), but i found the error last night.
Resolution
After hours of debugging I figured out that AVG Anti-Virus Software blocks the request. After deactivating it for temporarily, Eclipse installed the new software.
In my case timeout was caused by definition of SOCKS proxy... we have proxy.company.com:80 and I incorrectly provided that proxy to all three (HTTP, HTTPS and SOCKS) connection schemas. Removal of proxy from SOCKS resolved the problem
Try to open the internal web browser of Eclipse (Window menu/Show view/Other...), and navigate to the 1) update site url, and 2) to any webpage.
If the latter one is not working, then Eclipse does not have connection to the internet, and you should try to open a new workspace, and try installing from there (possibly something wrong in the workspace settings).
If the second one works, but the first one does not, that suggests that the update site is not working. In this case report to the developers.
I also had this problem (my system: Win7, jdk7, Eclipse Indigo).
I installed jre6, changed my JAVA_HOME, ran eclipse with the following:
eclipse -debug -consolelog -vm 'c:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin\java.exe'
Install the plugins/updates, then switch back to using jdk7.
Worked for me!
Temporarily disabling AVG firewall fixed the issue for me.
Eclipse then installed the Android plugin.
In my case, adding these lines to eclipse.ini solved the problem
-vmargs (this one was alreayd there)
-Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true

Unable to read repository at http://download.eclipse.org/releases/indigo

I was trying to add the PDT,
Indigo - http://download.eclipse.org/releases/indigo
Unable to read repository at http://download.eclipse.org/releases/indigo.
Unable to read repository at http://download.eclipse.org/releases/indigo.
http://download.eclipse.org/releases/indigo is not a valid repository location.
So what's the correct url ? I went and looked lots of places. Can someone point me to the exact link ?
Edit :
Problem once you go to http://download.eclipse.org/releases/indigo , you will see the below error. So I guess its moved somewhere.
This software repository URL, http://download.eclipse.org/releases/indigo/ , provides access to the software repository for the Eclipse indigo release. Until its released in June 2011, it will contain milestone builds.
The repository site URL is typically pre-populated in the list of software repositories when you install the Eclipse Platform or SDK.
For more information about installing or updating software, see the Eclipse Platform Help.
There is also a collection of handy, downloadable all-in-one zip files available for many interests and platforms. Many people find these all-in-one packages the easiest way to get started.
Can you connect to internet at all through Eclipse?
Open the internal webbrowser. In Eclipse: Window -> show view -> Other -> General: Internal web browser.
Look up any normal adress, is it working?
Can you connect to another update site? Try for example Eclipse Emma:
http://update.eclemma.org/
Do you see anything there?
What are your proxy preferences? Go to Window -> preferences -> General: Network connections.
The active provider:
Specifies the settings profile to be used when opening connections. Choosing the Direct provider causes all the connections to be opened without the use of a proxy server. Selecting Manual causes settings defined in Eclipse to be used. On some platforms there is also a Native provider available, selecting this one causes settings that were discovered in the OS to be used.
If internet is working fine outside of Eclipse, try changing to Native. After that, try Direct.
I have encountered problems where an update site would not load, then I had to remove it and add it again. This forces Eclipse to reread the contents of the site even if it has a cached copy. So, if you still get no connection to the indigo update site, but everything else is working, try that. Go to Window -> Preferences -> Install/update: Available Software sites. Then remove and add the indigo site. Just remember to copy the adress so you can add it again.
As suggested in a comment below by #lostiniceland, this is a simpler way to achieve the above:
Goto Window -> Preferences -> Install Update -> Available Software Sites => select the entry and click the "Reload" button to the right. This is sometimes also helpful when you have a local updatesite for testing custom plugins
I had the same problem and resolved it by
Deleting the cache directory \eclipse\p2\org.eclipse.equinox.p2.repository\cache
Refreshing the repositories.
Preferences -> Install Update -> Available Software Sites => select the entry
Click the "Reload"
Check if you are able to connect to eclipse market place url (http://marketplace.eclipse.org/) from browser. If its working then the issue is because of proxy server using in your network.
We have to update eclipse with proxy server details used in our network.
Go to :- Windows-> Preference -> General -> Network Connections.
And edit HTTP ,with proxy details.
Click OK
Done.
I was having this problem and it turned out to be our firewall. It has some very general functions for blocking ActiveX, Java, etc., and the Java functionality was blocking the jar downloads as Eclipse attempted them.
The firewall was returning an html page explaining that the content was blocked, which of course went unseen. Thank goodness for Wireshark :)
Another way to solve this kind of error is to start eclipse with this argument
-vmargs -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true
Working fine with Eclipse (x64) 4.3.1
Had this problem in Linux, and I found that the user doesn't have permission to update the eclipse directory
change the owner of eclipse folder recursively, or run eclipse with user who has write permission to the folder
In Windows 7 32-bit version, I started the eclipse with as an administrator. This worked for me.
I had the same problem. Try to deactivate your Firewall (I had avast!), which worked for me.
(Sorry for my English I'm French :D)
Please make sure you are using correct url. If You are using url - http://download.eclipse.org/releases/indigo on your eclipse luna(v4.4) then it might be not working in this case you should use - http://download.eclipse.org/releases/luna
I have tried this and its working.
What worked for me:
Since yesterday, I have been trying to install the Eclipse plugin - "Remote System Explorer" from the Eclipse marketplace on a freshly downloaded Eclipse 4.8 as shown below,
and everytime I was getting this error:
Unable to read repository at http://download.eclipse.org/releases/kepler/.
Unable to read repository at http://download.eclipse.org/releases/kepler/201306260900/content.jar.
download.eclipse.org:80 failed to respond
which brought me to this SO post.
I tried a few solutions mentioned here in the different answers like this one and this one and this one, but none of them worked. I just gave up almost, thinking that either the corporate network here is somehow blocking the specific download requests or the 4.8 version of Eclipse is buggy.
Discovery:
I could not reload all the paths under 'Window' -> 'Preferences' -> 'Install/Update' -> 'Available Software Sites'.
Preconditions:
What did work for me from the beginning was:
I could open google.com from the internal web browser of eclipse and,
some of the update paths, I could reload even. (As was mentioned as a possible solution or test, in some of the answers here, like this one.)
Finally, this answer put me on the right track - for my specific case, at least. Just my step was to do the exact opposite of what that answer was doing.
Solution:
I had to change all the http:\\ paths to https:\\ and suddenly it started to work. I don't know who - either IE/Edge on Windows 10 or the Windows 10 firewall or the company firewall is blocking HTTP communications. But with HTTPS, I can finally install plugins from the Marketplace.
HTTPS reload works
I must say, what is strange is that not all the paths required https. Except a few, the rest seemed to have had no problem working with HTTP. But I anyways changed all to HTTPS, just for good measure.
Then reload all the repositories one by one. Press "Apply and close".
Then check for updates. Eclipse will update itself successfully now.
Restart after update.
Finally you can install whichever Plugin you would like to from the Eclipse Marketplace.
Note: In case during the update, this same error pops up again, then see in the repositories that any new paths added by eclipse during the update, are also HTTPS and not HTTP.
Kudos to #Fredrik above. His answer didn't work for me, but lead me to the resolution of my issue:
In 'Window'|'Preferences'|'Install/Update'|'Available Software Sites'. The location that I was attempting to install from the 'Marketplace' was getting inserted with an https:// URL. Editing this to http:// allowed me to then use 'Help'|Install New Software ...' to select the repository from the drop down 'Work with:' combobox instead of having the https:// one automatically inserted and used.
For eclipse, there are normally different options available:
If you want to use the PHP development environment (only), you should go with the corresponding distro of eclipse. There is a distro for PHP provided by Zend.
You may add PDT to an indigo release by doing the following steps:
Check if an update site for PDT is included in your eclipse installation:
Open the Help > Install New Software dialog.
Click there on the link Available Software Sites.
In the list, the URL http://download.eclipse.org/releases/indigo should be marked.
Close the dialog.
Select from the Work with list the site with the right URL.
Enter in the filter box PDT and search in the list for the PDT tooling you want to install.
Install the PDT tooling.
If that does not work, you may download a complete update site from the PDT project site.
Visit the site (URL above).
Click on downloads.
Search there for the string "all in one update site".
Download the zip file.
Install it in your Indigo installation. Help > Install New Software > Add... > Enter name and select from button Archive the zip file
I hope some of the installation instructions will work for you.
This is the correct URL. Chances are Eclipse cannot read it properly because of the Internet connexion.
Are you using a proxy to get Internet access? If this is the case you need to notify Eclipse via the "Preferences/General/Network Connections" menu.
That URL works fine. The message you report is normal when you look at it in a browser. My copy of Eclipse has no problems talking to it. If yours does, I suspect a proxy configuration error in your copy of eclipse.
Also try it by turning off the firewall, and similar services. It worked for me!
If you can't access https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse/ simply
try to use http://
instead of https://
I spent whole my day figuring out this and found the following. And it works great now.
This is basically an issue with your gateway or proxy, If you are under proxy network, Please go to the network settings and set the proxy server settings(server, port , user name and password). If you are under direct gateway network, your firewall may be blocking the http get request from your eclipse.
I was also unable to read the repository. Even after the disabling most of the entries under Available Software Sites things were still not working.
I had no proxy to worry about and even disabling the firewall (which I do not recommended) as a last resort did not help.
Viewing the error log, from the dialog box which Eclipse displayed, there was mention of a cache directory under .eclipse in my home directory. I deleted the two cache directories I found and Eclipse was working again.
For my setup the two directories I deleted were:
.eclipse/org.eclipse.platform_4.4.2_119745494_macosx_cocoa_x86_64/p2/org.eclipse.equinox.p2.core/cache
.eclipse/org.eclipse.platform_4.4.2_119745494_macosx_cocoa_x86_64/p2/org.eclipse.equinox.p2.repository/cache
NB: My setup is Eclipse Luna 4.4.2 running on Mac OS X Yosemite 10.10.3
In my case, I discovered that the major issue why my eclipse won't connect to internet is my Internet Service Provider. I was only able to browse some websites but unable to browse other website. Fixing the issue with the ISP worked.
My issue was the Eclipse Marketplace client needed updating.
After trying Fredriks solution of
Go to Window -> Preferences -> Install/update: Available Software sites. Then remove and add the indigo site. Just remember to copy the adress so you can add it again.
The Marketplace client wouldn't load. But I could access it via a browser.
So, I went to the Help -> Eclipse Marketplace
it loaded fine
Clicked on Installed and found the Eclipse Marketplace Client and it had so i clicked it it updated and then when I did the standard update everything worked.
Sometimes, there will be firewalls and restrictions in the network preventing the plugin to get downloaded. We can try some other network. This actually resolved my issue.
I was facing the issue while adding team explorer plugin to eclipse from https://marketplace.eclipse.org/content/team-explorer-everywhere.
Used team explorer plugin for ecplise for internal use of xamarin for mac.
Error:
unable to read repository at http://marketplace.eclipse.org/content/team-explorer-everywhere
org.eclipse.equinox.p2.core.provisionexception unable to read repository
Unknown host exception
Goto https://github.com/microsoft/team-explorer-everywhere/releases
Download: TFSEclipsePlugin-UpdateSiteArchive-14.135.0.zip
From Eclipse->Help->Install new software.
From Add Repository window select Archive select the downloaded zip file.
Continue installation.
Also try if in the eclipse paths there is some duplicated
Luna - http://download.eclipse.org/releases/luna
Luna - http://download.eclipse.org/releases/luna/1234567...
Try both of them, one may work.
In my case, with 2 eclispes installed, in one of them the path
Luna - http://download.eclipse.org/releases/luna
works, in the other one, i must select:
Luna - http://download.eclipse.org/releases/luna/123456...
In both the internal browser can access to internet. Both are Luna (but one is RCM, the other one i don't remember).
No meu caso era o anti-vírus que estava bloqueando a conexão do eclipse, desativei o anti-víruse tudo funcionou o//.
Translation:
In my case it was the anti-virus that was blocking the connection from eclipse. I disabled the anti-virus and everything worked.

ColdFusion debugging problem in Eclipse (Break points not hit)

I am trying to get the debugger (CF extension for Eclipse) working for last few hours. And struck in strange situation.
My settings are listed below
ColdFusion 8
Eclipse 3.4
I set up the RDS & modified the JVM.config settings and verified the connection & debugger, both returns successful in test run. But When i attach a debugger to the site, breakpoints are not hit.
My Eclipse workbench & site virtual directory pointing to the same path. It is in a remote server.
I left Eclipse-CF mapping blank since both pointing the same remote path.
And i am using WYSE thin client emulator.. does it anything to do with this..?
Can someone help me to resolve this problem?
Cheers
If your eclipse configuration is ok, could be that something is not confgured right on server side. Check if Line Debugger Settings > Allow Line Debugging feature is enabled and that Debugger Port (5005) is opened and accessible form client machine.
Articles that should walk you through proper setup:
http://eclipse.sys-con.com/node/382427
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/coldfusion/articles/debugger.html
Also you could try using CF Builder and/or FusionDebug http://www.fusion-debug.com/fd/ .
You do need to specify at least one mapping. Eclipse needs to know what folder in your project maps to the http root. Even if the mapping is / -> /, you need to specify that. The only time you can leave mapping blank is when the CF server is on the same machine as Eclipse.
