I kept getting NTLM popups after installing ME 6. Also in 7.

Turns out there is a problem with Eclipse (3.5?).
One of our guys figured out some workarounds:

Networking in Eclipse 3.5
This first option will enable network connections for updates and software installs
Based on information from http://wiki.eclipse.org/ECF_Filetransfer_Support_for_NTLMv2_Proxies
Edit eclipse.ini in your eclipse folder adding the following lines
-Dorg.eclipse.ecf.provider.filetransfer.excludeContributors=org.eclipse.ecf.provider.filetransfer.httpclient
-Dhttp.proxyPort=80
-Dhttp.proxyHost=PROXY_IP
-Dhttp.proxyUser=DOMAINUSERNAME
-Dhttp.proxyPassword=PASSWORD
-Dhttp.nonProxyHosts=localhost|127.0.0.1
Start eclipse
Open Window -> Preferences -> General -> Network Connections
Select Active Provider: Native
You may need to restart eclipse

Second option will set up a local proxy in front of the corporate proxy to handle the NTLM requests to the corporate proxy. Which is necessary for Mylyn
Download CNTLM from Sourceforge
Edit cntlm.ini
Username USERNAME
Domain DOMAIN
Password NETWORK_PASSWORD
Proxy PROXY_IP:80
Listen UNUSED_PORT

Start cntlm.exe from a command window. Use the -v option for verbose output, useful for initial setup.
Eclipse Configuration
Open Window -> Preferences -> General -> Network Connections
Select Active Provider: Manual
Set HTTP and HTTPS to use:
Host = 127.0.0.1
Port = port defined in cntlm
Auth = false

More 3.5 Notes
Installing subversion through Mylyn http://blogs.open.collab.net/svn/2009/06/subversion-eclipse35-easy.html. Rally, JIRA and bugzilla support are available using the same steps.

flawlor,

I understand that you are referring to NTLM popups issue. Are you facing this with ME or Eclipse? Your above post is not clear. Let me inform you that the latest release of MyEclipse is ME7.5 which is based on base Eclipse 3.4.2 and not 3.5 as you state above.

[Frank Lawlor]

I had the same problem with ME 6.5 & 7.5

Do you mean that you are facing this issue with Eclipse 3.5, ME 6.5 and 7.5? Thanks for sharing the workaround for Eclipse 3.5. Does the above workaround work for ME6.5 and 7.5 too?

[Frank Lawlor]

I downloaded the full package for ME 6.5 and 7.5 so whatever Eclipse was in there.

I followed the first set of directions and also updated window | preferences | Pulse | Network Connections with the proxy address.

I haven’t tried to update much, but I haven’t seen the NTLM popup anymore.

Good to hear. Thanks for sharing your inputs with us.
