I think your code is a little bit wrong.  I found this (wrong) code:

      System.getProperties().put("proxySet", "true");
      System.getProperties().put("proxyHost", "myProxyMachineName");
      System.getProperties().put("proxyPort", "85");

...at:

This page says the code is wrong, and points to the fix...
The WRONG part is the property keys specified.  Per
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/guide/net/properties.html
they should be:

      System.setProperty("proxySet", "true");
      System.setProperty("http.proxyHost", "your.proxy.server");
      System.setProperty("http.proxyPort", "8083");

So, for a quick and easy test, you might just try adding this to
your command line:

      -Dhttp.proxyHost=proxy.ml.com -Dhttp.proxyPort=8083

HTH.
