Re: [Subclipse-users] Support for IPv6?

So I've determined why the behavior below is experienced. The Java
documentation in >=1.4.2 states that by default on a dual-stacked (v4/
v6) machine Java will choose the IPv6 stack since it can talk to both
v4 & v6 - this is expected and good. However there is another system
property that specifies which address family java prefers when
querying DNS, and that is IPv4. Here's where I experience my
problem. Most IPv6 apps prefer the IPv6 address. My SVN http server
is dual stacked, but I can only reach the IPv6 address, so I need to
change this system property.

http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/guide/net/properties.html

I've added '-Djava.net.preferIPv6Addresses=true' to eclipse.ini and
all is working for subclipse IPv6 http communication.
