Developer Collaboration: Creating an Account and Logging In

Follow these steps to register at a collaboration server and log in

1. Choose Collaborate > Login to open the Collaboration window.
2. Click Add an account.
3. Select the type of collaboration account you want to register. Note that you can use the collaboration service at java.net.
4. Enter a display name for the account. It will be used as display name both locally and on server.
5. Choose the proxy type. Keep in mind that both username and password are proxy server credentials (thus local to your company network) and in most network setups should be left empty. For HTTPS proxy type, don't forget the port number. Examples:
   • SOCKS5: hostname=socks:1080
   • HTTPS: webcache:8080
6. Click Next.
7. Fill in registration info (name, mail), and click Next.
8. Enter the login name and password and press Finish.
9. Click Login to log in to the new account.
