Hi,
Should I send this question to the m2dev group instead? I am warming up to suggesting that this feature is added back to the m2e preferences. We could even contribute the patch.
Basic idea: in some environments it is really difficult for a user to discover their proxy settings. It would be of great advantage to us, and anyone else working in an Enterprise environment, if m2e could be configured to use the Network Connection proxy settings if this is possible.
- The default should be to use whatever is defined in the global or user maven settings. If nothing is defined then - no proxy for m2e either.
- But it should be possible to override this default simply by selecting "Use Eclipse proxy settings? (Overrides Maven proxy settings if set)" or similar.
Hence my question about whether it is technically possible to obtain the proxy settings inside Eclipse code so that these could be fed to Maven during a build - particularly when these settings come from the Native provider, which means they might be derived from a complex script of some sort.
In most Enterprise environments a lack of proxy settings means Maven builds fail. Our product relies on Maven to function. So when Maven fails our product fails, and when this happens during an evaluation many users simply give up. In other words, this really matters to us. And I am sure it matters to other Enterprise m2e users out there as well.
Regards,
Miles |
