sbt from behind proxy

[Siddhartha Gadgil]

I have installed the typesafe stack on Ubuntu. I cannot start sbt as it fails to download dependencies from behind an authenticated firewall on Ubuntu. I have set the variables https_proxy etc to the format http:username:pass...@proxy.port, so that, for instance git works (as well as set proxy in ubunut). Is there some other configuration I need to make for this? Any help is appreciated.

                                   Thanks,

                                   Siddhartha

-Dhttp.proxyHost=... -Dhttp.proxyPort=... -Dhttp.proxyUser=... -Dhttp.proxyPassword=...

has been working for me.

Thanks. Do you mean run sbt with these parameters? As per Gary Pampara's suggestion I ran java with these parameters to run scala-launch and it worked.
