[forge-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (FORGE-421) Proxy support

[ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/FORGE-421?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.... ] Ivan St. Ivanov commented on FORGE-421: --------------------------------------- Hi guys, I am not a proxy expert. However, I browsed through the forge code and found that it is using JGit to download plugins from Github (as it is the case with Arquillian). I then browsed JGit's code and found that it supports proxies and as far as I got it, it uses the proxy selector mechanism described in the document linked by Lincoln. To be more precise: it uses the default proxy selector. Which happens to use exactly these system properties that you set. I saw a suggestion in the document that if you are on Windows or Gnome 2.x, you can edit your <JRE-dir>/lib/net.properties file and make the default proxy selector use your system proxy. Furthermore, you can try to uncomment the lines in the same file (no matter what OS you are using, just keep the useSystemProxies to false) that configure the HTTP proxy. And then run forge again. Tomorrow I will try this at work as well. Cheers, Ivan -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
