最近，我发现了允许JVM使用浏览器代理设置的方法。你需要做的是将${java.home}/lib/deploy.jar添加到你的项目中，并像下面这样初始化库:

import com.sun.deploy.net.proxy.DeployProxySelector;
import com.sun.deploy.services.PlatformType;
import com.sun.deploy.services.ServiceManager;

import org.apache.commons.logging.Log;
import org.apache.commons.logging.LogFactory;

public abstract class ExtendedProxyManager {

    private static final Log logger = LogFactory.getLog(ExtendedProxyManager.class);

    /**
     * After calling this method, proxy settings can be magically retrieved from default browser settings.
     */
    public static boolean init() {
        logger.debug("Init started");

        // Initialization code was taken from com.sun.deploy.ClientContainer:
        ServiceManager
                .setService(System.getProperty("os.name").toLowerCase().indexOf("windows") != -1 ? PlatformType.STANDALONE_TIGER_WIN32
                        : PlatformType.STANDALONE_TIGER_UNIX);

        try {
            // This will call ProxySelector.setDefault():
            DeployProxySelector.reset();
        } catch (Throwable throwable) {
            logger.error("Unable to initialize extended dynamic browser proxy settings support.", throwable);

            return false;
        }

        return true;
    }
}

之后，可以通过java.net.ProxySelector将代理设置提供给Java API。

这种方法的唯一问题是你需要在bootclasspath中使用deploy.jar启动JVM，例如java -Xbootclasspath/a:"%JAVA_HOME%\jre\lib\deploy.jar" -jar my.jar。如果有人知道如何克服这个限制，请告诉我。

综合Sorter和javabrett/Leonel的回答:

java -Dhttp.proxyHost=10.10.10.10 -Dhttp.proxyPort=8080 -Dhttp.proxyUser=username -Dhttp.proxyPassword=password -jar myJar.jar

这是一个小更新，但是从Java 7开始，现在可以通过编程方式创建代理连接，而不是通过系统属性。这可能是有用的，如果:

代理需要在程序运行时动态旋转 需要使用多个并行代理 或者只是让你的代码更干净:)

这是groovy中一个人为的例子:

// proxy configuration read from file resource under "proxyFileName"
String proxyFileName = "proxy.txt"
String proxyPort = "1234"
String url = "http://www.promised.land"
File testProxyFile = new File(proxyFileName)
URLConnection connection

if (!testProxyFile.exists()) {

    logger.debug "proxyFileName doesn't exist.  Bypassing connection via proxy."
    connection = url.toURL().openConnection()

} else {
    String proxyAddress = testProxyFile.text
    connection = url.toURL().openConnection(new Proxy(Proxy.Type.HTTP, new InetSocketAddress(proxyAddress, proxyPort)))
}

try {
    connection.connect()
}
catch (Exception e) {
    logger.error e.printStackTrace()
}

全部参考: http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/technotes/guides/net/proxies.html

我也在防火墙后面，这对我有用!!

System.setProperty("http.proxyHost", "proxy host addr");
System.setProperty("http.proxyPort", "808");
Authenticator.setDefault(new Authenticator() {
    protected PasswordAuthentication getPasswordAuthentication() {

        return new PasswordAuthentication("domain\\user","password".toCharArray());
    }
});

URL url = new URL("http://www.google.com/");
URLConnection con = url.openConnection();

BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(
                    con.getInputStream()));

// Read it ...
String inputLine;
while ((inputLine = in.readLine()) != null)
    System.out.println(inputLine);

in.close();

如果你想要“Socks Proxy”，通知“socksProxyHost”和“socksProxyPort”虚拟机参数。

e.g.

java -DsocksProxyHost=127.0.0.1 -DsocksProxyPort=8080 org.example.Main

你可以通过编程的方式设置这些标志:

if (needsProxy()) {
    System.setProperty("http.proxyHost",getProxyHost());
    System.setProperty("http.proxyPort",getProxyPort());
} else {
    System.setProperty("http.proxyHost","");
    System.setProperty("http.proxyPort","");
}

只要从方法needsProxy()， getProxyHost()和getProxyPort()中返回正确的值，您就可以随时调用此代码片段。
