I have no idea if this is an eclipse or jboss tools problem.  I already posted this here 

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/16821926/where-is-this-repository-prompt-coming-from-in-new-juno-install http://stackoverflow.com/questions/16821926/where-is-this-repository-prompt-coming-from-in-new-juno-install

but have had no answers.  That link contains a screenshot.  I have to cancel out several times and is so persistent there is one project I can't even close because every tiem I right click on the darn thing I get prompted for my username and password over and over.

I resolved this be recreating the workspace and re-importing the projects.  I must have set some preference that started this cycle.

No idea what though.

Just a guess - looks like your corporate proxy asking for permissions.

Any chance you setup proxies in the old workspace but not in the new ?

Hi


I'm very sure that you have some preferences settings for a proxy in Eclipse (Window->Preferences->Proxy). Assuming that you dont need a proxy then clearing those will prevent this dialog from popping up.
If you need a proxy then things get more complicated. A bad design in the JDK, a very lacking default proxy plugin and several competing fixes cause Eclipse to behave differently depending on the plugins you have. The dialog you screenshotted is caused by the default Eclipse proxy support in org.eclipse.ui.net. It's limitations are very well known but none fixed those in the platform yet:


https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=196780 https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=196780


This very lacking plugin is overriden by EGit, Scout and others. Depending on which of these plugins you have, you will or wont get the above dialog. The best advice I can give you is to make sure that you have EGit installed (and make sure it's started: have some git shared projects in your workspace or open the "Git Repository Exploring" perspective" at least once). EGit overrides the default proxy plugin by a far superior plugin that prevents the above dialog from appearing.


If you need more details, the you can have a look at a very similar issue we ran into in OpenShift/JBoss Tools. The jira issue holds all informations and insights I collected when looking into this weirdness:
https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-12999 https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-12999

Our environment permits very restricted access to the internet and, of course, we must use a proxy -- only the host in the pop-up is not it.  If it were prompting me for access to the proxy I would have recognized it right away as the hostname is easily identifiable as the proxy.  To add to the complication, the proxy only works with IE -- in other words the firewall only permits access to the internet via the proxy AND IE.  Eclipse may NOT access the internet, even through the proxy.  Makes installing a software and updates a pain.

I do think it's somehow related to version control as the host mentioned in the pop-up used to be our SVN repository.   Since you mention opening the EGit perspective causes EGit's proxy plugin to override the default proxy plugin, I wonder if opening the SVN perspective once prompted an analogous action triggering the start of this pop-up?  I would not have fiddled with the git preferences since we don't use it.  Whether the EGit plugin is installed I don't know (did it come with jboss tools perhaps?).  The SVN preferences do not contain a reference to this host, at least I couldn't find one, but it must be related.

I just realized subclipse isn't installed -- doesn't it come with JBDS 7? (that's what I'm upt o now and it's working quite well!)

Thanks for all the info.  I'll have to install subclipse at some point and we'll see what happens then...

Reading you and looking at your screenshot a 2nd time made me think that I was wrong in thinking that the dialog was related to the Eclipse proxy. If the host you see was your SVN host then the closest guess is that there must be some SVN setting left in your workspace (as Max pointed out) that must be triggering some SVN plugin.

You mention SVN preferences, so you definitely have a SVN plugin installed. Since you're sure abourt subclipse not being available you must be running Subversive, the SVN plugin that's part of the Eclipse distribution ( http://www.eclipse.org/subversive/ http://www.eclipse.org/subversive/). Whenever the popup shows up make sure it's focused and hit "Alt+Shift+F1". The plug-in spy would then also tell you what plugin is prompting you.You can verify this in your JBSD via Help->About JBoss Developer Studio->Installation Details->Plug-Ins and scroll trough the list and look for "SVN Team provider". The presence of a SVN perspective in your JBDS would definitely also confirm this. 
Back to the cause of being prompted I'd reiterate over what Max pointed out above: my guess is that the project you're editing still had SVN settings in it, causing Subversive to try to connect to your host. Did you verify that there are no ".svn" folders in your project any more? I'd very much think that using the old workspace with the project featuring .svn folder was causing those prompts since re-importing those into a fresh workspace solve it.

Cheers
André

If you are running JBDS svn is not installed by default - its available from JBoss Central under software updates.

I installed subclipse yesterday and still no problem. :-)  I'm back to smooth sailing.
