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.

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

Poo-too-weet 🙂
