Description Robert (Kraythe) Simmons

In addition to being able to configure eclipse with manual proxy settings, one
should be able to configure it with a .pac script such as those used by mozilla
or IE. This would make it much easier to use auto-update through a firewall at
work.

I am not sure how .pac scripts can be supported.
If you have any suggestions I'd be glad to implement a solution.

Well, I dont know how they are implemented but you could look at the code for 
mozilla or Konqueror which both support them. There are a number of open-
source implementations that use them.

It would be nice to have a java based solution, and also covered by a license 
that would allow us to look at and/or use. There are restrictions on what kind 
of open source code I can look at.
In general, scripted proxies are not used as much as in the past, and for the 
other kind of proxies, there is already support in j2se.

Thanks for the pointers, we'll do our best to get something going.

I guess you mean the automatic proxy configuration URL (like in the Firefox-Preferences)? If so, it should be also implemented for the CVS Proxy Settings.
Or should i open a new Bug?
