java proxy

3.5. Configuring proxy settings
There are a couple of scenarios where you will need your proxy to be correctly defined at the JVM level so that you
can access documents from Internet. It could be to get the thirdparty libraries if you decided to build JBoss Portal
from the sources, to access RSS feeds or weather information in the samples portlet we provide or for your own
needs.
To set up the proxy settings you will need to know the proxy host and the port to use then add them when starting
java.
Usually setting up JAVA_OPTS environment variable to -Dhttp.proxyHost=YOUR_PROXY_HOST -Dhttp.
proxyPort=YOUR_PROXY_PORT is enough.
