[FIXED] How to configure proxy settings in NetBeans 8.2 RC?

Issue

I have an issue with NetBeans, I have been trying to install some plugins to the IDE but it show me an error:

Unable to connect to the Plugin Portal because of Connection reset

It says I have to check my proxy settings, but I am not using any proxy. I already put this: -J-Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack = true in the netbeans.conf file, but it doesn't work. Any help is appreciated.

Solution

You can find the proxy settings under Tools > Options > General.

But you can consider downloading a newer version of NetBeans, since version 8.2 does not seems maintained anymore (it's pre-Apache).

The latest version as today is 12.4 and you can download at: https://netbeans.apache.org/download/index.html
