<h3>Proxy entries</h3>
<p>When using <strong>Manual</strong> proxy provider there are three predefined schemas to set settings for: HTTP,
HTTPS and SOCKS <a href="#SOCKS">[1]</a>. Configuration for each schema is displayed in the <strong>Proxy
entries</strong> table. To edit settings for a particular schema double-click the entry or select the entry and click
<strong>Edit...</strong> button. If <strong>Port</strong> field is left blank default port number will be used.
Following table lists default port numbers for each of the predefined schemas.</p>

<p><a name="SOCKS"></a> 1. The SOCKS proxy support in Java 1.4 had certain limitations. Due to these limitations, the
setting of the SOCKS system properties is not performed when a 1.4 VM is used. The SOCKS proxy may still be used by
some tooling when running on a 1.4 VM (e.g. CVS). However, users should use a 1.5 (or 5.0) VM if they require full
SOCKS proxy support.</p>
