I run my Eclipse on a Linux computer behind a company proxy. This proxy does not need authentication, it simply needs to be set. But in Eclipse some functionalities can't connect to the Internet. When I check the same URL with e.f. curl and the same proxy settings everything works fine.
I defined the proxy:
- in /etc/environment, both
http_proxyandhttps_proxy - in Eclipse in Window / Preferences / Network connection / Manual. For http and https, not for socks
- in settings.xml, I can see from the preferences that this file gets applied
Eclipse can connect to the Internet:
- in the Marketplace
- for update checks and Installation
Eclipse is unable to reach the Internet:
- in the "Web Browser" view
- in m2e
Any ideas where I missed a special setting ? I do all of this in STS 3.9, which has Eclipse 4.7
I am not sure about the browser view, but m2e/Maven uses proxy settings that are defined in the settings.xml file for Maven.
In Eclipse/STS, you can specify which settings.xml file m2e should use in the preferences for the Maven support.
