Here are the properties that I used to get my modified version of the
WMSPlugin to work (assuming the proxy settings are correct):

# PlugIn layer for the WMSPlugin using a public ArcIMS server providing data
from USGS National Hydrography Dataset
wmsPluginLayer_NHD.class=com.bbn.openmap.plugin.PlugInLayer
wmsPluginLayer_NHD.prettyName=USGS National Hydrography Dataset (WMS)
wmsPluginLayer_NHD.plugin=com.bbn.openmap.plugin.wms.WMSPlugIn
wmsPluginLayer_NHD.plugin.wmsserver=http://gisdata.usgs.net/servlet/com.esri
.wms.Esrimap
wmsPluginLayer_NHD.plugin.wmsversion=1.0.0
wmsPluginLayer_NHD.plugin.format=JPEG
wmsPluginLayer_NHD.plugin.transparent=false
wmsPluginLayer_NHD.plugin.backgroundcolor=0xbdde83
wmsPluginLayer_NHD.plugin.layers=NHD_Waterbodies,NHD_Waterbody_Reaches,NHD_T
ransport_Reaches,NHD_Network
#wmsPluginLayer_NHD.plugin.styles=
wmsPluginLayer_NHD.plugin.vendorspecificnames=SERVICENAME
wmsPluginLayer_NHD.plugin.vendorspecificvalues=USGS_WMS_NHD
#wmsPluginLayer_NHD.plugin.wmsname=???

I've also attached some screen captures of the plugin showing data from the
URL Raj sent us.

Found my problem. I'm hidden away behind a firewall and I neglected to let
my Java virtual machine know about it. Adding the following to the command
line solved the problem:

-Dhttp.proxyHost=host.name.of.proxy.server -Dhttp.proxyPort=portnum

Is it worth allowing this to be set in the GUI palette? Come to think of it
- is it worth allowing the URL of the WMS Map server or the layer properties
to be modified from the GUI palette aswell?

Here is a public WMS running ArcIMS that may be useful for
testing purposes.
