Using Subeclipse Behind Proxy Server

I loaded the subeclipse plug-in in my eclipse. But it just wouldn't work. I realized this was due to the proxy server I was using. I had configured the proxy settings in Eclipse but surprisingly subeclipse doesn't take proxy from eclipse. Servers in the windows file have to be configured to do the same. Here's how...

• Open the servers file in your favorite text editor. For this, in RUN type %APPDATA%\Subversion\servers and press Enter. A dialog box appears asking you via which program you would like to open it. Click on any text editor.


• Scroll to the end of the file. You'll see a Global Section. In the Global section of the file uncomment http-proxy-host and http-proxy-port (and user name and password in case you are using it) and give the required values. That is where the subeclipse will take the settings to connect to the internet from.


• Now go back to the SVN Repository view in Eclipse and refresh the repository.

Congrats! It's done.
