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();

从Java文档(不是javadoc API):

http://download.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/technotes/guides/net/proxies.html

设置JVM标志http。proxyHost和http。在命令行上启动JVM时使用proxyPort。 这通常是在shell脚本(Unix)或bat文件(Windows)中完成的。下面是Unix shell脚本的示例:

JAVA_FLAGS=-Dhttp.proxyHost=10.0.0.100 -Dhttp.proxyPort=8800
java ${JAVA_FLAGS} ...

当使用JBoss或WebLogic等容器时，我的解决方案是编辑供应商提供的启动脚本。

许多开发人员都熟悉Java API (javadocs)，但很多时候忽略了文档的其余部分。它包含许多有趣的信息:http://download.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/technotes/guides/

更新:如果您不想使用代理来解析一些本地/内网主机，请查看来自@Tomalak的评论:

不要忘记http。nonProxyHosts财产!

-Dhttp.nonProxyHosts="localhost|127.0.0.1|10.*.*.*|*.example.com|etc"

You can utilize the http.proxy* JVM variables if you're within a standalone JVM but you SHOULD NOT modify their startup scripts and/or do this within your application server (except maybe jboss or tomcat). Instead you should utilize the JAVA Proxy API (not System.setProperty) or utilize the vendor's own configuration options. Both WebSphere and WebLogic have very defined ways of setting up the proxies that are far more powerful than the J2SE one. Additionally, for WebSphere and WebLogic you will likely break your application server in little ways by overriding the startup scripts (particularly the server's interop processes as you might be telling them to use your proxy as well...).

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。

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

JVM使用代理进行HTTP调用

System.getProperties().put("http.proxyHost", "someProxyURL");
System.getProperties().put("http.proxyPort", "someProxyPort");

这可以使用用户设置代理

System.setProperty("java.net.useSystemProxies", "true");
