At my work we have an MS Proxy that requires you used either NTLM or
basic auth with a proxy account to surf the net.   I use the proxy
account for Netscape and for doing my Debian updates on Linux.

Eclipse as of the last Snapshot I got (which was the 2.1
integration build from the first week of Jan) has no built-in support
for using proxies or at least if it does support proxies it is not
a configurable option in the Windows->Prefrences menus.  So it means 
that Update Manager is not an option at work (I can work around it 
by get it at home and then zipping it up and sending it to work).

There are a couple of plugins that try to address this proxy problem.
One is parrot-something-or-other which works for browser windows and 
the other one is a bug ticket in the Eclipse project (I think it's 
called NetAccess or something like).  I couldn't get either of them 
to work with Update Manager when I tried them.
