Hi
I am trying to install and add software to 7.5 from behind an NTLM proxy.
There are many separate posts around which tell about Changing the compatibility mode, or that you must set “-Dcom.genuitec.pulse.client.http.library.id=com.genuitec.pulse2.common.http.oakland.communicationsLibrary” and so on and so on.
What I would like is a SINGLE page where are these experiences are compiled which I can read and use to get eclipse working with even a simple set of plugins. I recognise that it is difficult to develop an installer which works in all scenarios – so perhaps Genuitec could create some material to help us work it out.
Incidentally, when I try to install 8.0M1 or subclipse on 7.5 with the svnkit, then the install fails with a few kb to go and the installer then stays on screen forever. YOu have to kill eclipse to get rid of it. Is this something you know about or are trying to fix ? Why, having downloaded an 80MB installer for myeclipse 8.0 does the installer even need to go back to the internet to download another 500MB of software ?

We actually simplified all that stuff into the Window > Preferences > Pulse screen. You can adjust the communication mode there, falling back on the JDK comm layer if necessary to get the proxy auth to work.
That being said, it’s only recommended that you change those settings if things aren’t work — generally the default settings, once you’ve entered your credentials and said “Save” will do the trick.
Some NTLM proxies are more picky than others, so falling back to “Compatibility mode” as the first step, then the JDK mode is the progression you should try. (Compatibility mode adjusts the connection thresholds to be more forgiving of slower auth proxies, and JDK falls back on using the JDK’s comm library that MAY work better in this particular situation).

This unfortunately is a bug we are killing to death with Pulse 3.0 that will be part of MyEclipse 8.0 GA in November — it’s an issue when an existing install has been found on disk and there is a clash with the versions of the same bundle — a bit of a corner case, but as you experienced entirely maddening. Sorry you ran into that.
The fastest workaround is just to fire up the Pulse Explorer, and right-click on the profile and do a “Reinstall and Run” on the profile. It will force it to redo the provision operation (not re-download anything that’s already on disk).
