Bug#576293: eclipse: plugins installed by user not working

[Rex Tsai]

Subject: Re: plugins installed by user not working
Package: eclipse
Version: 3.5.2-2
Severity: normal

Hi, I was trying to install extra plugins but failed.

I found that it was accessing dtd files, which is alrady banned[1] by w3c.
And we should cache the dtd files[2][3].

However, I found there is no XML category setting in perference.
There must be some kind of plugin missed. Not sure how to fix it yet.

Network connection problems encountered during search.
