I have a problem downloading new software via the "Install New Software..." dialog of Eclipse Helios.
It used to work a few weeks ago, but now I get the following error when I try to visit the official Helios site.
org.eclipse.equinox.p2.core.ProvisionException
Unable to read repository at http://download.eclipse.org/releases/helios.
This is what I get in the error log:

I have used wireshark to see exactly what eclipse does when I request the update site, and I have discovered that it does a HTTP GET request on the host download.eclipse.org, for the page "/releases/helios/p2.index" (without quotes) and that it gets a 404 error from the webserver.
This is what I get when I navigate to http://download.eclipse.org/releases/helios/p2.index as well.
Does anyone have the same problem? Do I have something in my settings mixed up? Does anyone have an idea to solve my problem? or do you guys need some more info?
The bug 341665 presents a similar case and has the workaround of using a mirror:
I found where the problem is. I'm here in China, and I can't access
http://www.gtlib.gatech.edu/pub/eclipse/releases/helios/, where http://download.eclipse.org/releases/helios/compositeContent.jar is redirected to, because our government has blocked the access to http://www.gtlib.gatech.edu/*
So please change a repository to help us developers in China. Thank you.

I find a workaround:
use http://mirror.neu.edu.cn/eclipse/releases/helios/ instead of http://download.eclipse.org/releases/helios
Note, as described in bug 325299:
There is an ordering for the files that we look for when we connect to a server:
compositeContent.jar
compositeContent.xml
content.jar
content.xml
site.xml
add this line to
eclipse.ini
-Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true

I tried to make a really simple "hello world!" import using EGit in Eclipse. I have not found any evidence that the software is not working (no bug found in Google), so it looks I made something wrong which I do not know.
I followed the steps defined here: http://craigmart.in/2012/01/17/import-an-existing-git-repo-to-eclipse/
It crashes when connecting to GitHub.
Essentially this is what I am getting:
I have extracted the following information from the error log:

Info:
Using pycharm and GitHub directory I have been able to use Git and connect to GitHub... it looks a problem with something I did on Eclipse, not a problem with my computer.
Does anybody know what I might have done wrong?
In the Import Projects from Git dialog the Use New project wizard option seems to be broken (see Eclipse bug 324145).
Workaround:
Probably, the problem occurred after the repository has been cloned (otherwise you have to clone the repository first). To import an existing local Git repository use File > Open Projects from File System... (instead of File > Import... > Git > Projects from Git). If the project is not an Eclipse project but contains .java files, the project will be configured automatically as a Java project. The local Git repository will also be detected and added automatically.
Thanks to #howlger answer
I visualized the solution
I am using Eclipse Luna Service Release 1 (4.4.1)
When I try to install new software
It gives some error message like Cannot complete the request. This installation has not been configured properly for Software Updates.
And my error log says

Could not locate the running profile instance. The eclipse.p2.data.area and eclipse.p2.profile properties may not be set correctly in this application's config.ini file.
I came across similar problems in
How to enable Software Update in an Eclipse product?
and Getting the message "Cannot start the update ui..." when trying to run the update UI in Eclipse
but it didnot solve my problem
I hit this same error (Eclipse Mars).
Shutting down all Eclipse instances and starting with eclipse.exe -clean fixed it.
Bug 378568 mentions:
Looks like the configuration of your eclipse is damaged.
Check the value of 'eclipse.p2.profile' and 'eclipse.p2.data.area' in config.ini, then check whether the specified profile can be found from path 'eclipse.p2.data.area'.
<eclipse.p2.data.area>\org.eclipse.equinox.p2.engine\profileRegistry
Removing those files (in the folder eclipse.p2.data.area) and relaunching Eclipse should help fix the issue.
Although FaithReaper mentions in the comments:
Removing the eclipse.p2.data.area folder prevents Eclipse from launching.
In my case it is C:\Users\<my.user.name>\.p2
The discussion mentions the error:
An internal error occurred during:
"Loading bundle:
/eclipse/configuration/org.eclipse.osgi/1304/0/.cp/bundles/php.ruble".
org.eclipse.osgi.internal.framework.EquinoxConfiguration$1
cannot be cast to java.lang.String
This is mentioned in this answer (and this one) as a patch to be applied (see bug 445122: ClassCastException received when System.getProperties().store() runs on 4.4.1)
Just add the following lines to eclipse.ini:
-Dorg.eclipse.swt.browser.IEVersion=10001
-Dosgi.configuration.area.default=null
-Dosgi.user.area.default=null
-Dosgi.user.area=#user.home
-Dosgi.instance.area.default=null
It worked when I put the full eclipse folder (containing the executable) at the root of the harddrive like :
C:\eclipse
Same for the workspace.
In our project (an Eclipse plugin), we're trying to install a couple of plugins programmatically (no worries, the user first has to accept all their licenses). Everything works fine, the plugins get installed, except that a certain error keeps popping up:

We've tried a couple of things, like setting in the pom.xml for tycho that we don't want to use mirrors, or giving it as a JVM argument, or simply setting the System property to not use mirrors. However, as far as I understood, this will only cancel out non-eclipse.org sites and this is an eclipse.org site...
The updatesite to install from is: http://download.eclipse.org/modeling/emf/teneo/updates/2.0.0/interim/ (for Teneo).
What can I do to prevent this error from happening? To be clear: this doesn't prevent the code from running as it should. Teneo gets installed. I just don't want this kind of errors popping up in the Error Log.
Thanks for any tips.
How do I resolve the above reported error message? Additional details are given below:

One thing I did (though I recommend uninstalling and re-installing your plugins first as previously posted by #Rajkumar) is to remove the builder causing the issue. MyProject -> Properties -> Builders ...[Troublesome Builder]... Remove.
It is a short run solution, you are only circumventing the real issue, but for me, it did what I needed it to for the time being.
Quite a few things had happened since I first installed Eclipse, like (a) installing / uninstalling plugins (b) upgrading the IDE without correspondingly upgrading the workspace. Since the history has become complex, troubleshooting also got trick. Fresh installation along with importing the code base again, fixed the issue for me.
Problem like happens if you have to many resources file like java scripts in your eclipse project. The solution is to remove the java script nature from project facets or disable the java script validation.
Well, before you go into all the trouble of uninstalling and installing again; if you haven't done any special action with your plug-ins, you may want to try the following which is fast and simple:
Close the project(s)
Open the project(s)
Restart eclipse
For me after this it is working. This is solving a lot of unaccepted issues that may occurred with older eclipse versions too.
I am very new to the Maven. I am trying to install m2e plugin in my Eclipse (eclipse-jee-helios-SR1-win32) from the Eclipse Marketplace. My Eclipse folder is in c:\ (c:\eclipse). It downloads and installs it properly (at least it looks so!) and then ask to restart Eclipse. I do restart it. But as soon as it restarts, it starts downloading some stuff and I get the following error:

Does anyone has ANY idea what is this? I repeated the process thrice, repeated on fresh installation of Eclipse, same problem. My colleague is using same version of Eclipse and has done the same process. He was able to install m2e in < 1 minute! This is so frustrating!
EDIT 1:
I have configured Proxy Settings in Eclipse Network Connections and those settings are working fine for my colleagues. So I guess it is not a proxy issue.
Although the Public Maven address itself isn't browsable anymore recently, this is more likely due to a Network Connections settings in your Eclipse.
See this answer to set your proxy if you have one, and more generally, check the "Network Connections" settings of your Eclipse's colleague to ake sure you have the same.
For information/archive, regarding the browse status of http://repo1.maven.org/maven2:
The raw browsing ability was originally removed to prevent automatic web crawler/scraper activity from de-stabilizing the Central servers.
Some of that ability has been returned.
It is currently possible to browse at levels deeper than the root, /org, /com, and /net.
So, if you try to navigate to http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org, for example, you will see a static page with a link to the appropriate Browse view on http://search/maven.org.
However, if you go even one level deeper, to http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/apache, the standard directory browse functionality will be in place.
Found simple solution. Just did an update for Eclipse and it worked!
