Bug#575904: [eclipse] Cannot add plugins

[Giovanni Mascellani]

Package: eclipse
Version: 3.5.2-1
Severity: normal

I can't download additional plugins for Eclipse. The actions described
here have been done just after deleting .eclipse and using a new workspace.

 * I open Eclipse
 * I go to the workbench and then to the menu Help -> Add new software
 * Eclipse tries to fetch information from the default update site
(http://download.eclipse.org/releases/galileo/content.xml), but fails.
It says "Unable to connect to repository http://{like before}" and
"Invalid argument". On the console gets printed:

I can't spot out any other debug information, and I don't know how to
ask for more verbose logging.

The same happens for Subclipse (which is what I'm interested into): if I
disable Galileo Update Site and add Subclipse
(http://subclipse.tigris.org/update_1.6.x) among the Available Software
Site, when I try to add new software it fails with the same error as before.

Thanks, Giovanni.
