This works with previous release Netbeans 6.8 / build-in jruby 1.4. Thus it is a regression. Checking for netbeans updates with Netbeans 6.9 works fine. Downloading and installing netbeans plugins with Netbeans 6.9 works fine. Reporting a netbeans error does not work (socket error), likely due to authentication problems too. (This is another error!) Gem update via jruby commandline according the following shema works fine: gem update -p http://username:password@proxyname:portnumber Gem update via Netbeans GUI works fine when under Tools->Options->Manual Proxy Setting Proxy the following is intered: -Http Proxy: http://username:password@proxyname -Port: portnumber -Use the same proxy settings for all protocols: yes -Proxy Requires Authenticiation: no However in this case checking Netbeans updates and downloading Netbeans plugins fails, as these do not understand the above proxy format. Conclusion: In Netbeans 6.9 there seems to be a problem when providing proxy authentication setting from Netbeans to jruby gems. Note: Replace "username", "password", "proxyname", "portnumber" by the applicable values for your firewall.
