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
