We would like to be able to access Activator Proxy Port and
IP address information within the JVM.

======================================================================

The bug can probably be closed the correct way to access the proxy information
is

Properties props = new Properties (System.getProperties());

The Property can be queried with

String sz = props.getProperty("javaplugin.proxy.usebrowsersettings");

in order to figure out if the local properties are supposed to be used
and by 
String sz = props.getProperty("javaplugin.proxy");
in order to get the current settings

This is trickier than it sounds.  Plug-in uses the browsers proxy
configuration settings and this may involve dynamically chosing the
target proxy based on the URL.

We'd need a new API at the java.net level if we were to implement this,
that would map a given URL to a proxy.

How can an applet access these system properties when this 
raises a security exception!?
