schema in URL detected but no reasonable action taken

If eclipse is intelligent enough to detect a schema prefixing the URL, then it should also be intelligent enough to just delete the schema from the input field if it matches the schema specified above. (Be friendly to copy-paste)


Likewise, ports should be autodetected and pasted into the matching input field.
However, in that case Eclipse also outputs the "schema" error mentioned above which is not appropriate.

How do you get to that dialog?  Preferences>General>Network?
Comment 3 Patrick Julian CLA 2014-06-13 10:28:01 EDT
Yes, exactly.
