[repository] proxy users

["Farr, Aaron" <Aa...@am.sony.com>]

Hello.

It looks like the repository Authenticator does not allow for null usernames
and passwords for proxy servers:

public DefaultAuthenticator( String username, String password ) 
     throws NullPointerException 
     {
         if( username == null ) throw new 
                    NullPointerException( "username" );
         if( password == null ) throw new 
                    NullPointerException( "password" );
         m_username = username;
         m_password = password.toCharArray();
     }

However, not all proxy servers require usernames and passwords, so this
isn't a completely valid approach.  Since I happen to be behind a firewall
and proxy right now I can't make the change at the moment.

Where's the avalon:artifact goal?

I've tried running "maven jar" in the impl directory as well as "maven
avalon:build" in the parent repository directory.  Any thoughts?

I reported this to Steve a week or two ago via IM.  Probably should have 
posted a message about, but I'm in serious crunch time here...

We are doing a workaround by just putting in a dummy value for the 
username and password (since our HTTP proxy server doesn't require 
authentication), and we might be equally lucky in the fact that our 
proxy server doesn't vomit when the repository impl hands the proxy the 
authentication credentials.

If memory serves, I think Steve told me to wait until JIRA was up and 
going, and enter a case for this.
