If you want to use the Update Center or access the Internet through the IDE but your system is behind a firewall or you use a proxy server, you need to configure the IDE with your proxy settings.
To configure the IDE to use an HTTP proxy:
To run the IDE using a SOCKS proxy, you must pass the SOCKS proxy host and proxy port parameters to the JVM
when you start the IDE. On Microsoft Windows machines, use the ide.cfg
file to pass the parameters.
On UNIX and Linux machines, you can write a wrapper shell script.
To configure the IDE to use a SOCKS proxy, when running on a Microsoft Windows machine:
bin
directory.ide.cfg
file there, create one.ide.cfg
in a text editor and enter the line
-J-DsocksProxyHost=SOCKS-SERVER -DsocksProxyPort=1080
ide.cfg
and close it.To configure the IDE to use a SOCKS proxy, when running on a UNIX or Linux machine:
FFJHOME/bin
.runide.sh -J-DsocksProxyHost=SOCKS-SERVER -DsocksProxyPort=1080where SOCKS-SERVER is the host name of your SOCKS proxy.
