Re: [platform-update-dev] Proxy server access
|
Usage of sun.* classes will definitely be a problem for WSDD, or any other
Eclipse-based IDE which is not using a Sun VM (and thus Sun class libraries)
to run Eclipse. WSDD uses the J9 VM ...
A base 64 encoder isn't really that hard to write ... no, I doubt I have any
Java code for you, but I may be able to dredge up some Smalltalk :-)
This functionality should be moved somehow into the base, as HTTP access to
things is fairly common these days. Ideally, for Windows, Eclipse would
reuse the system setting.
