Eclipse's CVS perspective includes support for SSH which is great, but not proxies, so up till now I've used the command line client access to internet repositories where I had an SSH access based account (via socksify).
Today I came across this nice page describing all of the Java networking system properties, and realized I could just start Eclipse with the following arguments:
eclipse -vmargs -DsocksProxyHost=<hostname> -DsocksProxyPort=<port>
Now I can check out Cocoon, etc using my SSH account from within Eclipse :)
Posted by crafterm at May 27, 2004 02:35 PM | TrackBackAny idea how to make this work for an HTTP proxy? I tried this but it didn't work:
-vmargs -Dhttp.proxyHost=host -Dhttp.proxyPort=8080
There is also these eclipse options (which are absent from the 3.0 RC9 docs, but used to be there in 2.x):
-DproxyHost=host -DproxyPort=8080
.. but I think these were just for the update manager???
Posted by: Chad Woolley at June 4, 2004 08:08 PMI seem to have a very interesting problem with the interactions of sshd, pam and eclipse, as I'm unable to use Eclipse's build-in extssh method to connect to my pam-enabled server that looks up accounts on ldap. In particurlar, it seems that 'password' authentication will allways fail, and when forcing the server to only accept keyboard-interactive as an authentication method Eclipse cannot keep the connection open or remember and auto-fill the passwords. My only viable course has been to use public-key authentication with an external ssh client.
