Installing Subclipse in Ubuntu Behind a Proxy

Took me ages to figure this out. I followed these instructions on how to install Subclise. After I added the remote site and hit "Finish" the installer just timed out.  I was working behind a firewall (IT LABS!) so I figured proxy settings had something to do with my problems.

Long story short, Eclipse doesn't use your global proxy settings.  In Ubuntu, the location of the settings in Eclipse is Window->Preferences->Install & Update.  From there you can specify your proxy host and port and successfully install Subclipse.

Subclipse is a Subversion plugin for eclipse.  Thanks to Nathan for helping me find the settings!
