Hi Tanya
Our environment permits very restricted access to the internet and,
of course, we must use a proxy -- only the host in the pop-up is not it. If it were
prompting me for access to the proxy I would have recognized it right away as the hostname
is easily identifiable as the proxy. To add to the complication, the proxy only works
with IE -- in other words the firewall only permits access to the internet via the proxy
AND IE. Eclipse may NOT access the internet, even through the proxy. Makes installing a
software and updates a pain.
I do think it's somehow related to version control as the host mentioned in the
pop-up used to be our SVN repository. Since you mention opening the EGit perspective
causes EGit's proxy plugin to override the default proxy plugin, I wonder if opening
the SVN perspective once prompted an analogous action triggering the start of this
pop-up? I would not have fiddled with the git preferences since we don't use it.
Whether the EGit plugin is installed I don't know (did it come with jboss tools
perhaps?). The SVN preferences do not contain a reference to this host, at least I
couldn't find one, but it must be related.
I just realized subclipse isn't installed -- doesn't it come with JBDS 7?
(that's what I'm upt o now and it's working quite well!)
Thanks for all the info. I'll have to install subclipse at some point and we'll
see what happens then...
Reading you and looking at your screenshot a 2nd time made
me think that I was wrong in thinking that the dialog was related to the Eclipse proxy. If
the host you see was your SVN host then the closest guess is that there must be some SVN
setting left in your workspace (as Max pointed out) that must be triggering some SVN
plugin.
You mention SVN preferences, so you definitely have a SVN plugin installed. Since
you're sure abourt subclipse not being available you must be running Subversive, the
SVN plugin that's part of the Eclipse distribution (
http://www.eclipse.org/subversive/ http://www.eclipse.org/subversive/). Whenever the popup
shows up make sure it's focused and hit "Alt+Shift+F1". The plug-in spy
would then also tell you what plugin is prompting you.You can verify this in your JBSD via
Help->About JBoss Developer Studio->Installation Details->Plug-Ins and scroll
trough the list and look for "SVN Team provider". The presence of a SVN
perspective in your JBDS would definitely also confirm this.
Back to the cause of being prompted I'd reiterate over what Max pointed out above: my
guess is that the project you're editing still had SVN settings in it, causing
Subversive to try to connect to your host. Did you verify that there are no
".svn" folders in your project any more? I'd very much think that using the
old workspace with the project featuring .svn folder was causing those prompts since
re-importing those into a fresh workspace solve it.
Cheers
André
