Nope you are doing everything fine - this is a known issue with a workaround. In the config.ini file you can uncomment a line and set your proxy settings once and for all.I'm trying to run uDig for my students' practical. However our lab machines live behind the university firewall so they need to go through a proxy to access the internet. I finally worked out that windows->preferences->install/update was where I could set the proxy details. Every worked fine then until they shutdown and restarted uDig at which point they could no longer access the internet. If they then went to the install/update preferences the boxes for the proxy were correctly filled in but they had to press apply before they took effect. I am I doing something obvious wrong or is this a bug?
This *is* interesting, so you have one udig install that many people are running.Another problem I've run into is that even when given a different workspace (i.e. one the students can write to) uDig insists on being able to write to uDig\eclipse\configuration\org.eclipse.core.runtime\.manager\.filetable. This is a trifle inconvenient but I can overcome it (though I'm not really supposed to allow students write permission for that disk).
That is great Ian we will have to figure that out :-) Always happy with a new issue, and this one is solvable, earliest I can look into it is next week. Does this agree with your timeline?
