Answer 1

Eclipse and JUnit communicate via IPC (Inter Process Communication). Here, you're using android with a specific virtual machine.

The message System property http.nonProxyHosts has been set to local|*.local|169.25 4/16|*.169.254/16 by an external source. This value will be overwritten using the values from the preferences makes me wonder. There are preferences in your Eclipse and they are probably wrong. Try to remove these nonproxy settings in your Eclipse.

Good luck!
