Description Vladimir Kvashin 2015-07-06 10:00:56 UTC 
User experience:
- system proxy is set to standard internal oracle proxy
- NB proxy set to "system proxy"
Then "test connection" says OK, but we can not connect to a host.

Code investigation shows that
- this dialog reuses standard NetBeans proxy panel (although hides some its elements)
- this standard button checks whether it it possible to connect to http://netbeans.org with this proxy - which is not what user expects in remote case.
Comment 1 Vladimir Kvashin 2015-07-06 10:03:59 UTC 
I would propose to remove this button, since after removal of irritating "Apply Proxy Settings", this one does not make much sense. (User just presses "next" and proxy is checked, and if we can't connect, then we stay at the same page and error message is shown - so the "next" button functionality includes "test connection" one.
