Maybe it explains, why it was kinda difficult the last days.

Answer 3

Just to add to this as I have had problems with an install of eclipse on my machine.

Specs: Win 7 x64 on macbook pro. The broken eclipse was galileo, and 1 of 4 installations on my machine at the time - the others were all working.

I was not running proxy, so above solution in the question did not work.

I found an answer that said to get updates for eclipse, and that would fix things. I tried this, and eclipse said there were no updates, but then for some reason I can't understand, my plugins could now install.

... more anecdotal evidence of a problem, and a possible solution, however strange ...

Answer 6

i fought with eclipse 3.5.0 (galileo) for days, i had to use this version because I am doing blackberry development and eclipse comes bundle with blackberry specifics so i need to use the package they bundled, which was not 3.5.0 (not the 3.5.1) , BUT SirFabel saved the day, thanks to all who contributed to this post

I used 3.5.0 and did "Set the following system property in you eclipse.ini file: -Dorg.eclipse.ecf.provider.filetransfer.excludeContributors=org.eclipse.ecf.provider.filetransfer.httpclient For more details on this: wiki.eclipse.org/… - Configure only the HTTP and HTTPS proxies. Not SOCKS!! "

and I am able to get through my companies proxy!!!!
