Hi,
I used forrest 0.6 and it woks fine. So I'd like to go to version 0.7.

I have updated the forrest.properties file with the proxy.host proxy.port values. When I try to start forrest .07 I have on the screen indications that it fails to download the plug-ins.

I suppose it is an authentication problem, because I work inside the intranet behind a proxy and the rule is when somebody wants to look outside he should give name and authenticate with a password
.

If your proxy uses http basic authentication we could add the facility to provide a username and password in your user properties file. If this will be of use please raise an issue on our issue tracker.

Should I first, by hand download files and then let forrest install the plug-ins,
or should I all manually install the plus-ins (and how),
or there is  another solution?

You can manually install the plugins you need by downloading the zip files you need (their locations are indicated at http://forrest.apache.org/pluginDocs/plugins_0_70/index.html These zips should be unpacked into FORREST_HOME/build/plugins
