I have a problem executing unit tests in Eclipse behind a proxy, as the classes used by the unit tests call some web services, which are behind a proxy. In Tomcat I can of course specify a proxy to be used, but when I run unit tests directly from Eclipse, the proxy configuration of Eclipse seems to be ignored. How can I configure my unit tests or Eclipse to use a proxy in this case?

    I found the solution: apparently one can configure the proxy in run/debug settings in Eclipse. To do this:

    1. right click on the unit test class
    2. debug as – debug configurations
    3. go to tab “Arguments”

    4. add proxy configuration to “VM arguments”:

      • -Dhttp.proxyHost=proxy.host.com
      • -Dhttp.proxyPort=8080
      • -Dhttp.nonProxyHosts=[list of hosts separated with pipe character]

    If you are behind a password protected proxy, you have to add:

    • -Dhttp.proxyUser=someUserName
    • -Dhttp.proxyPassword=somePassword
