Eclipse Indigo Market place issue — permission denied (?)

Question

All,

I am trying to get a plugins from the marketplace and I'm getting quite frustrated. Initially, I was getting exceptions (resolved via another stack overflow post -- thanks), but now I see this: emphasized text

(X) org.eclipse.equinox.p2.core.ProvisionException Unable to read repository at http://download.eclipse.org/releases/indigo/content.xml

I do not understand the 'permission denied' in the error log below. and the error log is showing this:

eclipse.buildId=M20120208-0800 java.version=1.7.0_03 java.vendor=Oracle Corporation BootLoader constants: OS=win32, ARCH=x86_64, WS=win32, NL=en_US Framework arguments: -product org.eclipse.epp.package.cpp.product Command-line arguments: -os win32 -ws win32 -arch x86_64 -product org.eclipse.epp.package.cpp.product

I have this working correctly/well on the same laptop under VMware/linux, but this Windows 7 version is just not being nice. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

This is your problem, but I don't see any clear-cut solution:

• http://groups.google.com/group/google-appengine-java/browse_thread/thread/d0e8117be5091add

Per the link, please do check for firewalls.

Also:

• http://www.java.net/node/703177

  consider adding this to your eclipse.ini: -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true

PS: Poo-too-weet :)

If you are using VPN you need to disconnect the VPN before the update.

If you are behind a firewall (such as a corporate firewall), make sure that you have properly configured your proxy settings in Eclipse. In Eclipse, you can configure proxy information from the main Eclipse menu in Window (on Mac OS X, Eclipse) > Preferences > General > Network Connections.
