How to Specify Eclipse Proxy Authentication Credentials?

Window → Preferences → General → Network Connections then under "Proxy ByPass" click "Add Host" and enter the link from which you will be getting your third-party plugin; that's it bingo, now it should get the plugin no problem.

Here is the workaround:

In eclipse.ini write the following:

-vmargs
-Dorg.eclipse.ecf.provider.filetransfer.excludeContributors= org.eclipse.ecf.provider.filetransfer.httpclient
-Dhttp.proxyHost=*myproxyhost*
-Dhttp.proxyPort=*myproxyport*
-Dhttp.proxyUser=*proxy username*
-Dhttp.proxyPassword=*proxy password*
-Dhttp.nonProxyHosts=localhost|127.0.0.1

After starting eclipse verify, that you use the Manual proxy method.

If you have still problems, try deactivating ("Clear") SOCKS

see: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=281384 "I believe the reason for this is because it uses the SOCKS proxy instead of the HTTP proxy if SOCKS is configured."

In Eclipse, go to Window → Preferences → General → Network Connections. In the Active Provider combo box, choose "Manual". In the proxy entries table, for each entry click "Edit..." and supply your proxy host, port, username and password details.
