IProxyService.setProxyData affects system properties

In a test, I'm trying to programmatically change the Eclipse proxy settings without directly affecting the System properties.

My current attempt is as such:

    httpProxyData.setHost(host)
    httpProxyData.setPort(port)
    httpProxyData.setUserid(userId)
    httpProxyData.setPassword(password)

    proxyService.setProxyData((IProxyData[]) [
        httpProxyData
    ])

My proxy service settings are as follows:

    proxyService.setProxiesEnabled(true)
    proxyService.setSystemProxiesEnabled(false)

When proxyService.setProxyData executes, System.getproperty("http.proxyHost") is immediately changed to host. The IProxyService API states that System properties will not be affected. I want it such that the System properties are only affected by me setting System.setProperty(..., ...) at a later or earlier time.

Am I doing something incorrectly?

The doc says 'doesn't affect settings of the system proxies' - I think they mean it does not change the settings in the operating system.

Looking at the code it always call System.setProperty (which only sets the property for the current JVM).
