Proxy trouble in Bibsonomy plugin version 2.0

Reported by thomasarildsen: I am on a network where I have to use a proxy server. I have been using JabRef for a long time and have also been experimenting with the Bibsonomy plugin. JabRef works fine through the proxy by specifying the proxy server details to the Java interpreter on the command line. However the plugin started reporting errors on start-up after I upgraded it to version 2.0. From the error messages it looks like it could be a problem with the proxy:

ERROR while starting or running JabRef:
