Hi,

Starting with 3.5M6, the update/install does not work anymore.
I'm behind a proxy.
a) I have no clue where the proxy is.
b) I don't what kind of proxy that is,
c) I have no access to configure the proxy and also don't know, who is
configuring it.

So I would appreciate, if there is anything done between 3.5M5 and 3.5M6
on the update stuff in Eclipse, reverse that change.

Regards,
kesselhaus

Do you have any errors in your Error Log view?

Are you using Equinox p2 ("Software Updates") or the classic update manager?

Can you be more specific about what isn't working?

Well, I use the Eclipse SDK 3.5M6 zip file and unpacked locally.
I set up the 'Manual' HTTP/HTTPS proxy (host/port) under
Window->Preferences->'Network Connections'.
Then I go to Help->'Install New Software...', add an update site, it
starts searching, but stops with an error dialog popping up, which
states 'No repository found at <name_an_updatesite_here>'.

In the <workspace_loc>/.metadata/.log I have several entries like:

!ENTRY org.eclipse.core.net 1 0 2009-04-16 18:12:18.427
!MESSAGE System property socksProxyHost is not set but should be
<proxy_name>.

!ENTRY org.eclipse.core.net 1 0 2009-04-16 18:12:18.427
!MESSAGE System property socksProxyPort is not set but should be
<proxy_port>.

where <proxy_name> and <proxy_port> are the settings I made in the
preferences (as stated above).

Sorry, I can't offer any suggestions. I've never configured a proxy
myself. After digging a little bit, it looks like the logic for logging
those "System property" messages has been in Eclipse since at least 3.4,
if not earlier.

If your configuration was the same in previous versions, and it stopped
working in M6, it's possible a bug was introduced. It looks like there
has been a good amount of proxy-related work in 3.5:

If you are so inclined, file a new bug against the Platform product,
Team component. Prefix the summary with [Net].

It sounds like my problems are related.

I've been using Eclipse/RAP for several months usually installing RAP from
the update site. To connect to the site I would manually configure the
proxy server, simply specifying the IP address and port. When I connected
I was asked to authenticate with user name and password and everything
then progressed with no problems.

A few months ago I downloaded 3.5M5 and found the proxy configuration
screen has changed significantly and I couldn't get it to work. As I had
other work on with a higher priority I didn't pursue the problem. Today I
went back to it, thinking the problem might now be resolved in the latest
builds. So, I tried again with 3.5RC4. Still the same problem.

In Windows-Preferences-General-Network Connections, for Active Provider
set to either "Direct" or "Native", using the Test Connection option under
Install/Update-Available Software Sites, results in an "Unknown Host"
message. (As I think I would have expected.)

When the Active Provider is set to "Manual", which I believe is the
equivalent of the manual configuration prior to 3.5MS, there is no error
message on testing the connection, but the download never starts. A
"Progress Information" dialogue tells me that it is contacting the update
site, but thats as far as it gets.

If anyone has any ideas they'd be appreciated.

Thanks,

Paul McD
