Using JDeveloper's internal CVS support through a firewall

I got a question on what's the format to use to allow JDeveloper's internal CVS client (new to 10.1.3) through a firewall. For the internal CVS client, we use the syntax from the original CVS http proxy patch.

The extra settings get put after the :pserver section and before the username. # is the delimiter character.

proxy = [name of proxy host]
proxyPort = [port number of proxy]

example:

:pserver#proxy=proxy.example.com#proxyPort=80:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/someproject

Given this syntax, you can simply edit the CVSROOT on page 2 of the New CVS Connection Wizard (or the properties dialog if you have already create a CVS connection).

Next time around, we'll add an option to the GUI to enable/disable the proxy.
