After upgrading from 2023.1.2 to 2024.1.2 my Proxy-Settings don’t work anymore.
I’m using “Manual” with “Authentication Required”.
Exactly the same settings that are working with 2023.1.2 give me an Error “Proxy Authentication Required” with 2024.1.2

Thomas,

The networking and proxy code in MyEclipse isn’t something we control (this comes from the base Eclipse platform), but to the best of my knowledge, nothing has changed here from 2023.1 to 2024.1.

With 2024, the Java version that MyEclipse uses to run has been updated from 17.0.4 to 17.0.11. Is there a chance you made other changes to the Java binaries (like adding a certificate to it) or did you by any chance have any other proxy/network settings in the myeclipse.ini file? Please see the Proxy Authentication section in this post https://www.genuitec.com/forums/topic/configuring-the-network-proxy-settings/ specifically the switches at the end of the post.

If this doesn’t help, can you please send us your workspace error log? Also, what action are you taking that is resulting in the auth required message (trying to update, running a build, etc.)?

Thanks!

Brian, thank you for your reply!

I tried the switches in the mentioned post and added these lines to myeclipse.ini:

-Djdk.http.auth.tunneling.disabledSchemes=
-Djdk.http.auth.proxying.disabledSchemes=

–> that did NOT help.

Then I searched the internet with the exception text from MyEclipse and found this match:

https://github.com/eclipse-equinox/p2/issues/381

In myeclipse.ini I added this line:

-Dorg.eclipse.ecf.provider.filetransfer.excludeContributors=org.eclipse.ecf.provider.filetransfer.httpclientjava

–> that’s the (temporary) solution! The proxy calls work again and I can update the installed plugins!

Thanks for reporting back Thomas, this is a clear change that I somehow missed; it’s really good to have validation that the flag fixes your issues.

I did some more research around it and we will be adding that flag to future MyEclipse releases for the near term. Seems like the new tech isn’t ready for all environments – we’ll remove the flag again when Eclipse does.

Cheers!
