+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #369695 +++

The importproxysettings command mirrors proxy settings defined in system properties (if any) to eclipse/workspace preferences. Ensuring that the two are in sync and as a result preventing undesired effects that may otherwise be observed, like for instance overriding the system properties defining the proxy settings by the Platform Proxy API code in an effort to make the proxy information in the system properties match the information in the eclipse/workspace preferences.
The command must be executed before the Platform Proxy API code is initialized (before the 'org.eclipse.core.net' bundle is started) in order to be able to process the system properties defining the proxy settings before they are potentially overridden by the Platform Proxy API code. So it is crucial to execute it as one of the first commands (the very first if possible) in buckminster scripts.
