Description Michael Valenta CLA 2007-03-12 11:25:00 EDT 
As part of bug 154100, the specification of the HTTP proxy and the related authenticator has been centralized to the org.eclipse.core.net plug-in. As such, Update should no longer specify this proxy. Also, the API to access the proxy settings in Update should be deprecated and call the new API.

I think this change has a GUI impact. I'm using 3.2.2 and currently there are two different proxy settings to configure:

1. Window > Preferences > Internet > Proxy Settings
2. Window > Preferences > Install/Update > Proxy Settings

Both are honored by the Install/Update tool. However, if you only set the one under Install/Update the Install/Update tool behaves oddly. The setting is used during the eclipse session in which you set it. However, once you restart eclipse, the setting remains but is not used. You have to re-apply it each time you want to search for updates.

Basically what I'm saying is that either the Install/Update setting should be removed from the GUI or it should behave consistently.

The purpose of this bug is to remove the GUI portion from Update (and the patch does that). It will also be removed from WTP so there will only be a single preference page in the SDK and Europa.

Just a reminder that this needs to be done for 3.3. I've taken the liberty of changing the milestone since M6 is past.

Fixed. Thanks, Michael.
