Re: [wtp-dev] Blocking socket calls on the UI thread

[Jeffrey Liu <jeffliu@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Cameron,

Try setting the following system properties:

http.proxySet = true
http.proxyHost = <host>
http.proxyPort = <port>
http.proxyUserName = <username if
authentication is enabled>
http.proxyPassword = <password if
authentication is enabled>

For https connections, the system properties
are https. instead of http.

Thanks,

Subject	[wtp-dev] Blocking socket calls on the UI thread

I have noticed that certain WTP components trigger
a blocking call on 
the UI thread when retrieving a license for a particular DTD/Schema.  
While I understand the desire to launch  a dialog when license agreement
is required I don't understand why Eclipse needs to be crippled when the
user has already made copious "I Agree" statements when they
installed 
the tool.  This is especially frustrating for anyone who sits behind
a 
web proxy and can end up having to kill Eclipse because the license 
dialog cannot connect and blocks the entire UI until time out on the 
socket. 

Where this was a merely a grievance before, it is a now serious problem,
because I am unable to write JUnit tests that trigger any of this 
functionality because Eclipse just sits there, completely non-responsive
until the socket call times out.  Is there an environment variable
or 
something that I can set to enable proxying in a JUnit workspace (which
I want to automatically clear on every run, so simply setting a 
preference won't do) or am I going to have to go in and figure out how
to set the preference store programatically in my JUnit tests?


Thanks,

Cameron
