Added this to eclipse.ini:

-Dorg.eclipse.ecf.provider.filetransfer.excludeContributors=org.eclipse.ecf.provider.filetransfer.httpclient4 parameter

Restart still no go

Edit Window->Preferences->Network

  • Selected manual settings
  • add proxy & credentials to HTTP HTTPS
  • Restarted

Updates does check but still returns proxy error

Can now get to marketplace but cant install from there, get proxy error on confirming install, updates connect for checks but are perhaps failing at the download

Still no go, colleague suggested installing cntlm, but I won’t get that authroised here without difficulty
