How to Specify Eclipse Proxy Authentication Credentials

Question

I m using the latest version of Eclipse Galileo and I have to access the web from behind a proxy  I see where I can set the internet settings to manual and specify a proxy but there s no way to specify my authentication credentials that I can see and it doesn t prompt me for them either  So I m not able to hit any plugin update sites etc    Does anyone else have this issue or know a good workaround  Or is there a better version of Eclipse to use

I struggle with this constantly  as it seems it is a different solution every time a new version of Eclipse is released  Here is a solution that doesn t involve displaying your password in the  ini file   In Eclipse go to Window   Preferences   General   security Secure Storage  In the Password tab click on the  Change Password  button Fill in the security questions  Don t make them to hard  Finish  Now go to Window   Preferences   General   Network connections  Choose  Manual  from drop down  Double click  HTTP  option and enter the Host  Port  Username and Password  Finish  Now go to Window   Preferences   General   security Secure Storage  In the Password tab click on the  Recover Password  button Fill in the security questions  Finish  Eclipse now stores your username and password

If you have still problems  try deactivating   Clear   SOCKS  see  https   bugs eclipse org bugs show bug cgi id 281384  I believe the reason for this is because it uses the SOCKS proxy instead of the HTTP proxy if SOCKS is configured
