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

[Alvin Thompson <al@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

this newsgroup is for the people developing eclipse (and interested 
parties) only. eclipse has no control over third-party plugins. you 
should send this question to the developers of the plugin.

thanks,

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.
