+JDK 8u111 link:https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/javase/8u111-relnotes.html[disabled Basic authentication for HTTPS tunneling], 
+this means that if you use a network proxy with Apache NetBeans and this proxy is using Basic authentication you won't be able to
+access HTTPS based servers.
+
+As a workaround for this JDK feature, you can add the option 
+
+[source]
+----
+-Djdk.http.auth.tunneling.disabledSchemes="" 
+----
+
+to the Apache NetBeans `etc/netbeans.conf` configuration file, in the `netbeans_default_options` entry, like so:
+
+[source]
+----
+netbeans_default_options="-J-XX:+UseStringDeduplication -J-Xss2m -J-Djdk.http.auth.tunneling.disabledSchemes=\"\" -J-Dapple.laf.useScreenMenuBar=true (...)
+----
+
+NOTE: We don't want to set this as a default options because it may pose a security problem.
