This of course will work. Even simpler, use the Finder to open the content of package XMLEditor.app. Example: /Users/hussein/Desktop/xxe-std-211/XMLEditor.app. >From there, navigate to reach Contents/Resources/Java/xxe. Drag this shell script from the Finder and drop it in a Terminal window. Type Enter in the Terminal window to start the xxe shell script. You can edit this xxe shell script to add extra system properties. > I'm not sure whether the socks configuration that Hussein posted > will help, since it sounds like it's an HTTP proxy.

You are probably right. We don't have *any* experience with proxies. This ``layer'' is: java.net.Authenticator (see http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/net/Authenticator.html) XXE has an implementation of such java.net.Authenticator, but currently, our implementation ignores authentication requests coming from proxies. However, in the case of a SOCKS proxy, Sun says that --- -DsocksProxyHost=socks.acme.com -DsocksProxyPort=1080 -Djava.net.socks.username=foo -Djava.net.socks.password=bar --- would work (even with an implementation of java.net.Authenticator).
