Re: [wtp-dev] Help with ProxyAuthenticator

[Matthias Kempka <mkempka@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Jenny,

IIRC is the ProxyAuthenticator an OSGI service that is contributed by  
org.eclipse.core.net (or org.eclipse.ui.net).

So, to be on the safe side you should make sure that this service is  
not loaded and contribute your own service. But I'm pretty sure this  
has consequences you won't like, because other plug-ins depend on the  
org.eclipse.*.net plug-ins. Not a way I'd recommend to go.

You might have a look at the extension point  
org.eclipse.core.net.authenticator. Maybe you find what you need, there.

Best regards,
Matthias
