Sorry to report that, but... GConf has been deprecated some time ago [1]. A migration to GSettings will be required sooner or later.

Where does it depend on gconf? Is there any starting point? I could not find a single reference to gconf in the Platform git repositories.

With gtk2, windowbuilder depended on gconf, but this is no longer true for the gtk3 version. Old code: https://git.eclipse.org/c/windowbuilder/org.eclipse.windowbuilder.git/tree/org.eclipse.wb.os.linux/native/gtk/gtk2/gconf.c
The dependency on gtk2 version may stay imho, as nobody on a reasonable updated platform will ever use the gtk2 version again.

See http://git.eclipse.org/c/platform/eclipse.platform.team.git/tree/bundles/org.eclipse.core.net/natives/unix . It uses the gnome2 way of fetching proxies.

There is https://developer.gnome.org/ProxyConfiguration/ describing in details.

I've added an N&N entry here. There were no templates for 4.9 yet so I created them based on what Sravan did this time last year for 4.8. 

Someone who has done this before, please check to make sure I didn't miss anything/do it incorrectly.
