I use Eclipse daily for software development and those of you that use it know that you download plugins and updates regularly. The company I work for has Bluecoat installed, which blocks all of the updates. However, the update URLs are not blocked in Internet Explorer. With this said, the problem seems to be that Eclipse is not using Windows authentication when it requests updates from the URLs. Is there a way to set Eclipse up so that it acts like IE?
That could be linked to the proxy and not to Bluecoat:
If IE does authorized the access to update URLs, it must do so through an authenticated proxy connection.
If you do have such a setting (proxyname:port , user/password), you should report that setting on your eclipse, in order for p2 within that eclipse to use those same settings.

This is going to sound like a ridiculous question, but using the SonarLint Eclipse plugin (v3.2.0) on the latest Eclipse (Oxygen), I am unable to add a new SonarQube server connection.
I am working behind a company firewall, but that doesnt appear to be an issue. I am following the steps here and am able to successfully connect to our internal SonarQube instance, provide my credentials, but it is just on the final step, that the 'Finish' button does not seem to do anything, see screen below:
I appreciate there is probably some background processes need to run in order for this Finish to actually finish :) But this doesnt appear to be doing anything...Anyone else experience this issue?
Any before people ask, I've restarted Eclipse/laptop, uninstalled and reinstalled SonarLint plugin etc.
Thanks in advance!
SonarLint in Eclipse are storing credentials in Eclipse secure storage that itself is protected by a master password. So you must reset it or delete it to add a new SonarQube server connection. You can try this step :
In your Eclipse Go to Window > Preferences, filter and find Secure Storage.
In the Tab Contents find and highlight org.sonarlint.eclipse.core, click Delete > Apply > OK. After deletion process is finished, Eclipse will ask if you want to restart the IDE. It is strongly recommended that you restart the IDE and try again to adding SonarQube server in Eclipse.
Thanks.
On my linux machine I had the same issue, because the used master password provider doesn't work properly.
This answer worked for me:
Open Window > Preferences
Go to General > Security > Secure Storage
At Master password providers uncheck the used provider. The enabled provider with the highest priority is the used one [for me it was "Linux Integration (64 bit)"].
Click apply
I also encountered this problem, but was able to work around it.
This is environment in which I was running:
Eclipse Oxygen.1
Linux VM (VirtualBox) on Windows host
Solution that worked for me based on this post:
Uninstall SonarLint.
Reinstall using Help -> Install new software...
On the Install dialog, un-check the option "Show only the latest versions of available software"
Select the older version of SonarLint.
Select Next and continue with the install.
After installing, configure your SonarQube server like normal.
Upgrade to the latest version of SonarLint via Help -> Check for Updates
In my case the problem also concerned the credentials storage but was caused by the Avecto Defendpoint Client. The company restricted the permissions to create subfolders in user home (c:\users<username>). I had to create manually missing subfolders (.sonarlint and .eclipse) after access level elevation and after filling the reason in a text field. Then I had to give the permissions to those folders for myself. Having created them I could proceed with adding server to sonarlint plugin.
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.
I am using Eclipse 3.6. I am trying to download a plug in from an update site, but it won't connect, it keeps saying "Pending" for quite some time.
Not alot of information there. It helps to let us know what you have tried...
I'll quote an answer I gave to a similar question, which contains the basic workarounds:
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.
Here's one more option to try if none of the efforts above helped. You might be using Eclipse from a Shared Drive (for eg, H:). If so, move/copy it the entire Eclipse directory to C: and try again.
My Eclipse could not connect to internet, nor access Eclipse Marketplace, nor even open ports for Tomcat server. I am behind a corporate proxy and tried many options that I have found on Stack Overflow and other forums but to no avail. I've also tried different versions (Mars, Luna, Kepler and a corporate-provided Kepler).
These are the options I have tried:
Use Direct Connection
Go to Windows > Perferences > General > Network Connections.
Change Active Provider to Direct.
Restart Eclipse.
Set up Manual Proxy
Go to Windows > Perferences > General > Network Connections.
Change Active Provider to Manual.
Input proxy details, including username/password if required.
Clear SOCKS proxy.
Restart Eclipse.
Change Eclipse.ini
Go to Windows > Perferences > General > Network Connections.
Change Active Provider to Native.
Open Eclipse.ini.
Add the following under -vmargs, each on its own line.
-Dorg.eclipse.ecf.provider.filetransfer.excludeContributors=org.eclipse.ecf.provider.filetransfer.httpclient4
-Dhttp.proxyPort=8080
-Dhttp.proxyHost=myproxy
-Dhttp.proxyUser=mydomain\myusername
-Dhttp.proxyPassword=mypassword
-Dhttp.nonProxyHosts=localhost|127.0.0.1
-Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true
Restart Eclipse

Add Eclipse to Firewall
Go to Control Panel > Windows Firewall (or your own firewall)
Add Eclipse to whitelist (see https://stackoverflow.com/a/35508990 for Windows Firewall)
Delete Oomph-releated sub folders
Delete all Oomph-releated sub folders in ${user.home}/.eclipse/ folder
For Windows this may be in C:\Users\.eclipse

See my other answer for Eclipse not able to open ports for Tomcat (https://stackoverflow.com/a/37246227/4212710).
If eclipse could not able to connect to internet, following may be one of the reason:
There is a service called "Network Access Protection Agent", which might be blocking eclipse from accessing the internet.
In this case, you can try the following (this worked for me-Windows 7 PC):
1. Click on Windows Start button and search for Administrative Tools and Open it
2. Then open Services
3. Look for "Network Access Protection Agent" service
4. Stop this service
5. Now eclipse should be able to connect to internet
Note: This happens when Windows are not up to date. So after stopping this service, update your Windows, then start this service.
Eclipse is constantly running 'Loading Messages' from what appear to be various plugin sites as well as a main eclipse site (all reference a messages.xml file). Is there a way to disable this? They are never able to actually load as I am behind a proxy, so it just sits there and churn. I've yet to find a solution to this.
Edit:
Most of the time, I have my active provider set to manual. This is required on my end in order to access source code. So I actually have eclipse set up to not use a proxy. Because of this, eclipse can not contact any outside sites (but I don't have a choice on this issue). The active provider is only native when set I need to download a plugin for the first time (or manually update etc).
I'm assuming you're using Eclipse Helios (3.6).
Eclipse 3.6 should be able to detect a proxy.
Under Window -> Preferences, General -> Network Connections, you should see all of the proxy entries and the proxy bypass defined.
Make sure you have the Active Provider as Native.
I want to install a subversion on my eclipse.
So I went to Help < Install New Software and when I pick the "Galileo - http://download.eclipse.org/releases/galileo" in the "Work with" dropdown, it tells me in the main box "No repository found at http://...".
It is appearing in my available software sites and when I test the connection it returns me an error saying Unknown host.
Can someone please help me, I really need to install that subversion :).

As mention in this thread, this could be a proxy issue:
I assume you mean you used a web browser to get that - if so, is it
configured to use a web proxy? If your browser is using a proxy then
you need to configure Eclipse to use one too (see the General/Network
Connections preference page).
Since 3.5 Galileo, The Network Connection page has been changed to better show the current proxy configuration.
Now if you go to Preferences > General > Network Connections, you are able to see and change Eclipse proxy settings as well as see settings provided by the operating system.
If you want to use your browser or Gnome settings, or you have your proxy configured using environmental variables on Linux, you can see them all in this new UI
So to set your proxy, you can follow this tutorial (How to configure Proxy Settings in Eclipse)
The severity of the bug is downgraded, since there is a workaround. Open the eclipse.ini file and add the following
-Dorg.eclipse.ecf.provider.filetransfer.excludeContributors=org.eclipse.ecf.provider.filetransfer.httpclient
In a few words the above command says that Eclipse can access the web via the *.pac files of the HTTP clients (eg Internet Explorer or Firefox).
To summarize:
Add the above line at the ini file
ensure that your default system http client (eg Internet Explorer) has proxy settings configured
Go to Eclipse Window->Preferences->Network Connection and enter the proxy setting here as well
It should work with this workaround
I'm not sure which Subversion client you use but neither of them can be installed from the main Galileo site. Follow the instructions on the web page of the Subversion plug-in how to install it.
