Description Marcos Cunha CLA 2011-10-07 16:25:56 EDT 
Build Identifier: M20110909-1335

Depending on where you start Eclipse, outside or inside the main directory, it doesn't load the proper systemwide proxy configuration, so-called "Native" option on the Network Connections option, on the Preferences window.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Extract any Eclipse 3.7.1 on your home dir (~)
2. Open a console
3. Navigate to ~/eclipse
4. Do './eclipse', it will run normally
5. Go to "Window > Preferences", "General > Network Connections"
6. There will be the Native configuration, if your system has such proxy configured.
7. Navigate to ~ or another directory
8. Call eclipse from such path
9. In the same window, the configuration will not be displayed.

Out of interest, how are you configuring the systemwide proxy?

Moving to Platform/Team for comment.

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got
resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some
reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it.
The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you
still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is
(for whatever reason) no longer relevant.

If the bug is still relevant, please remove the stalebug whiteboard tag.
