[platform-update-dev] Re: [eclipse-dev] Proxy server access

["Nick Edgar" <Nick_Edgar@xxxxxxx>]

Nobody has done this as far as I know.  I'm interested in looking at 
pushing down the ability to open a web browser, e.g. to open the extra 
info (license) for features from the About dialog.
It would be logical to do the proxy setup here too. 

How do Help and Update determine which browser to use?  Does Update depend 
on Help for this?  Are there any other dependencies?

Hello all,
The Eclipse Update Manager will need a preference page where the user can
specify a proxy server and a port number. (and maybe a userid and a
password)

Before the team starts working on it...
1) has it been done by another team ?
2) which other team may need it ? (so we can work on a common set of API )

Please follow up on the update manager mailing list
Txs
Chris
