Trying to set JBuilder proxyHost for wsdl lookup

[Anthony Watson]

I'm trying to import a web service through JBuilder but when I type in a url to the wsdl file I get a no "route to host" dialog box. I know this is because my computer goes through a proxy server but I can't figure out how to get JBuilder to use this to connect to the internet. I would very much appreciate help on this subject. Thanks.

After much looking, I found the answer:
To access internet sites from the Help Viewer through a proxy server, you must specify the host ID and port number for your proxy server. These values are set within the Help Viewer.
To enable the Help Viewer to use a proxy server to connect to the internet,
Open the Help Viewer (Help|Help Topics).

Choose Options|More to open the Help System Options dialog box.

Check the Connect to the Internet Via Proxy Server option.

In the Host field, enter the name or numeric IP address of the proxy server.

In the Port field, enter the proxy server's port number.

Click OK.

Restart JBuilder for the change to take effect.

You can also add an environment variable to your system for this to work:
_JAVA_OPTIONS -Dhttp.proxyHost=xxx.xx.xxx.xx -Dhttp.proxyPort=xxxx
