installing SVN Kit connectors proxy authentication error

Question

I have installed the most recent version of subversion svn and then I start up eclipse to download the connector. Pick the most recent SVN Kit (1.8.5) and then I get this error:

Problems occurred while performing installation: HTTP Proxy Authentication Required: http://community.polarion.com/projects/subversive/download/eclipse/4.0/luna-site/content.xml See error log for details.

Any thoughts as to what is going wrong?

Are you using NTLM proxy?

Support for NTLM proxy authentication is broken in Eclipse 4.4 Luna: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=422665 . This breaks at least SVN connector installation and Eclipse Marketplace.

Workaround is to put following somewhere after -vmargs option in eclipse.ini:
