Re: [eclipse-dev] hand over system properties ( java -Dx=y ) to eclipse exe?

I am quite new to eclipse. Now I have found a nice plugins (allTheNews) that need connection to the internet. But I tells me that the server I fed it with cant be found. I ve checked that and certainly you can reach the server using a browser. The problem is that it (the plugin) obviously doesnt use the proxy config of IE. As far as I know one can feed the java.exe with some -D properties to know about the proxy. But eclipse uses some kind of convenient starting mechanism. I couldnt find out how to hand over the -D properties.

Well, does anyone know how to cope with that problem. Please help me, cause it is kind of basic knowledge for me and other beginners.

On your eclipse.exe commandline, everything behind -vmargs is passed through as VM parameters.

eclipse.exe <eclipse args> -vmargs -DmySystemProperty=Value
