Proxies and Jabref

Hi - Jabref is great, but I can only use it to a limited extent on my employer’s network. The problem is that Jabref does not inherit the proxy settings of the Windows operating system. Unfortunately, I cannot make a manual configuration. Other programmes obtain the proxy configuration automatically. Is there a trick for this?
Thanks for hints and ideas.

Hi,

you can try to modify the java options by specifying it should use a SystemProxy

-Djava.net.useSystemProxies=true

In the installation dir of Jabref there is Jabref.cfg
add a line:

java-options=-Djava.net.useSystemProxies=true

If you cannot modify the cfg file you can copy it and place it another directory:
