[jbosstools-dev] how to disable Eclipse UserValidationDialog?

[Max Rydahl Andersen]

whoops - my brain been primed to always read their client does not support NTLM :)

but still - without integration into the eclipse proxy setup/preferences this is not useful.

question is if that can be done nicely ? 

p.s. in any case I'll say such move to apache should be done *after* GA (experiemnt with it in a branch on your repo maybe?)

It says that Apache HttpClient supports it out-of-the-box, without JCIFS: " 4.1 supports NTLMv1 and NTLMv2 authentication protocols out of the box using a custom authentication engine". It says that the out-of-the-box engine is not very mature and has issue and that you can use JCIFS (LGPL) instead of the default engine. JCIFS was not bundled because it's LGPL and they're working towards solving the legal hurdles of bundling it.

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.
