If you build NetBeans behind a proxy server, I would greatly appreciate your help in testing the following pull request:

  Make one connection to download a file, not three
  https://github.com/apache/netbeans/pull/4206

The test involves deleting the external cache (742 MB) and building NetBeans from my pull request branch as follows:

$ rm -r ~/.hgexternalcache/*
$ git clone -b go-gentle-on-proxies --depth 1 https://github.com/jgneff/netbeans.git
$ cd netbeans
$ ant -quiet -Dmetabuild.branch=master

Building from scratch takes about 13 minutes on my machine. Note that it's important to start off with a clean clone of the repository to test downloading all 565 external files.

Then post your results on the mailing list or in the pull request.

It would also be helpful to know how you're informing the build of the proxy servers. For example, are you setting ANT_OPTS, exporting the standard proxy environment variables, or using some other method?

  export ANT_OPTS=-Dhttp.proxyHost=10.10.10.1 -Dhttp.proxyPort=8222 \
      -Dhttps.proxyHost=10.10.10.1 -Dhttps.proxyPort=8222

  export https_proxy=http://10.10.10.1:8222/
  export http_proxy=http://10.10.10.1:8222/

Thank you!
John
