I'm using the latest version of Eclipse Galileo and I have to access the web from behind a proxy. I see where I can set the internet settings to manual and specify a proxy but there's no way to specify my authentication credentials that I can see and it doesn't prompt me for them either. So I'm not able to hit any plugin update sites etc… Does anyone else have this issue or know a good workaround? Or is there a better version of Eclipse to use?

In Eclipse, go to Window → Preferences → General → Network Connections. In the Active Provider combo box, choose "Manual". In the proxy entries table, for each entry click "Edit..." and supply your proxy host, port, username and password details.
