[jira] Commented: (MNG-4802) Maven should by default use the environment defined proxy settings

["Christian Schulte (JIRA)" <ji...@codehaus.org>]

    [ https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-4802?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=276415#comment-276415 ] 

Christian Schulte commented on MNG-4802:
----------------------------------------

There is this section in the ${java.home}/jre/lib/net.properties file since JDK 1.5:

{noformat}
# Whether or not the DefaultProxySelector will default to System Proxy
# settings when they do exist.
# Set it to 'true' to enable this feature and check for platform
# specific proxy settings
# Note that the system properties that do explicitely set proxies
# (like http.proxyHost) do take precedence over the system settings
# even if java.net.useSystemProxies is set to true.

java.net.useSystemProxies=false
{noformat}

Setting this property to true should do exactly this.

> For people that constantly change places of work it's very annoying having to edit the settings.xml files every time.
> It would be great if the environment proxy settings were used when no proxy settings were defined in settings.xml.
