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?
wouldn't that involve putting my password in plain text? also what is the format of the string?

1. If you want Eclipse (or any tool, for that matter) to perform authentication for you, then you have to tell it your password :-) Why is that a problem?2. The format of which string?

Eclipse 3.4+ will automatically encrypt your proxy authentication info using a master password as part of its secure storage feature. http://help.eclipse.org/helios/index.jsp?topic=/org.eclipse.platform.doc.user/reference/ref-securestorage-works.htm

This sometime works, sometime no.
I have installed 1 Eclipse - works.
Installed second - doesn't work.
And I cann't figure why!
After some time may be found a solution.
Need delete all setting for proxy (included credentials). And re-insert for new.
After this for me getting work.

Here is the workaround:
In eclipse.ini write the following:
-vmargs
-Dorg.eclipse.ecf.provider.filetransfer.excludeContributors= org.eclipse.ecf.provider.filetransfer.httpclient
-Dhttp.proxyHost=*myproxyhost*
-Dhttp.proxyPort=*myproxyport*
-Dhttp.proxyUser=*proxy username*
-Dhttp.proxyPassword=*proxy password*
-Dhttp.nonProxyHosts=localhost|127.0.0.1
After starting eclipse verify, that you use the Manual proxy method.

A:
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."
