Hi Snjezana

good point!
I already found out about this when looking at different Eclipse plugins. EGit does it, Scout and apparently ECF, too. Quite a mess to be honest: A bad API in the jdk UrlConnection, a poor implementation in org.eclipse.ui and here we are: plenty of plugins overriding the Authenticator with unpredictable results.

Cheers

I think you can disable it by setting your own authenticator.
You can check how ECF sets its authenticator using the org.eclipse.ecf.provider.filetransfer.retrieve.UrlConnectionRetrieveFileTransfer.UrlConnectionAuthenticator class and the Authenticator.setDefault method.

Hi

In OpenShift tooling I have a dialog that allows you to create/edit connections to OpenShift. Behind the scenes I'm using HttpUrlConnection to talk to the OpenShift REST service. If I provide invalid user-credentials Eclipse pops up a dialog for the user to provide username and password on top of my dialog.

https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-12999

It turns out that Eclipse is registering it's very own Authenticator in HttpUrlConnection which is invoking the Eclipse credentials dialog if the Http response is 401.
Does anybody know how to disable this in Eclipse? I'm pretty stuck, I'd appreciate any input.

Thanks!
André
