How to get the system HTTP proxy configuration in Java [duplicate]

Question

Is it possible to get the system proxy configuration in Java?

In the Java Control Panel, you can set a proxy configuration. How can I access to that proxy configuration in order to open URL connections behind a proxy?

Answer 1
