    Hi

    I have been trying to access the eclipse update site.
    Unfortunately when I go on the newly created eclipse item
    in the feature updates pane things seem to stop. A
    message

     Connecting... Connecting to
     "http://update.eclipse.org/updates"

     appears but nothing happens and the screen kind of hangs
     until i press the red button (cancel current operation
     option). I work from behind a proxy. I did the
     appropriate settings in the preferences (entering the proxy name and
     port). I expect to be asked for my username and password and
    subsequently
     be shown the builds. But nothing seems to be
     happening.

     But if I go to the eclipse item, right click and in
     the properties select "website" instead of the "update
     site" everything seems to work fine....as in i access the site
    (updates still missing)

     What is the reason of this behavior could i be doing
     something wrong? I am new to eclipse....could anybody please help.

    regards
