Bug#636136: eclipse update system is not working

[Tzafrir Cohen]

Package: eclipse
Version: 3.7~exp-5
Followup-For: Bug #636136

I'm not sure this is the same issue, but I can't make the updates system
work either. It didn't work in the 3.5 package but I didn't try hard. I
needed 3.7 to work.

When I try to add an extra source eclipse fails to add it. "Details" shows:

  Some sites could not be found.  See the error log for more detail.
  Unable to read repository at http://download.eclipse.org/releases/maintenance/content.xml.
  Host name may not be null
  Unable to read repository at http://download.eclipse.org/birt/update-site/3.7-interim/content.xml.
  Host name may not be null

The URLs I have added do not end with '/content.xml' , and return some
XML file. The URLs mentioned there return 404.
